A compact card reader that delivers fast file transfers and broad device compatibility, UGREEN SD Card Reader 4.0. Save time when moving large photo and video files between camera, phone and computer. Is the transfer speed and portability worth adding to your kit?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Transfer Speed: Up to 312MB/s, supports SD 4.0 and both UHS-II and UHS-I card speed levels
  • Best for: Photographers, videographers and content creators who move large files frequently
  • Not ideal for: Users who need built-in wireless transfer or networked backups

Supports SD 4.0 speeds with UHS-II and UHS-I compatibility. SD slot and TF slot allow simultaneous transfers without drivers.


Blazing file transfers – thanks to SD 4.0 and 312MB/s max speed

SD 4.0 support and compatibility with UHS-II and UHS-I enable much higher throughput than older standards, with a quoted top speed of 312MB/s. USB-C and USB 3.0 host interfaces allow the reader to connect to modern laptops and legacy USB 3.0 ports.

Move gigabytes of photos and video in seconds, so cards clear quickly between shoots and editing workflows stay uninterrupted.

Efficient dual-card workflow – with separate SD and TF slots

A dedicated SD slot and a TF (microSD) slot permit simultaneous reading and writing, enabling parallel transfers from two cards. Plug-and-play operation means the host system recognises both cards without driver installation.

Transfer footage from two sources at once, ideal for multi-camera shoots or backing up a camera card while copying from a drone card.

Tough and pocketable – with aluminium casing and dust protection

An aluminium outer case adds wear resistance and helps dissipate heat during sustained transfers, while a dust cover protects card contacts when not in use. The compact form factor keeps the reader small enough for a camera bag pocket.

Carry a durable reader that stands up to outdoor use and protects card contacts, without adding bulk to travel kit.
