Overview
Not a single dongle, this is a pair of black readers, each with an SD slot and a microSD slot. They plug into laptops and computers with a regular USB port and need no driver, and they are small enough to travel.
The reason to buy is having a spare reader for each place the cards get used. The limit is that the listing offers no data rate and no notes on whether both slots can work at once.
Who it's for
Picture a bag for a laptop and a camera with a second reader living at home. Someone with a USB-C only computer, or a pro camera with different media, needs a different reader.
Pros and cons
- Two readers in one pack
- Both SD and microSD slots
- Plug and play use
- Light and portable
- Type A only
- Transfer speed not listed
- Pro card formats not covered
- Simultaneous slot use not described
Performance notes
Transfer speed depends on the card and the USB link, since a reader cannot make a slow card faster. The two slots share one USB connection, so whether they run at the same time is not described. A small reader plugged into the side of a laptop can be knocked loose easily.
