UGREEN USB SD Card Reader 3.0, USB-C & USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader for SD/Micro SD/UHS-I/SDXC/SDHC/TF, Compatible with iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, Galaxy S24 (Grey)

A neat little gadget, exactly what I needed. My old SD/MicroSD reader packed in a while ago, and I needed a new one to clear dashcam footage on a MicroSD, and read old SD cards for files. It was as simple as plugging it in and getting straight to work, with a speedy reading/deleting time. It's a sturdy and sleek design with a nice little clip to attach should you ever need it on the go. The lids covering the USB and USB-C are smooth to come off and go on too. Overall a handy little product that was worth the money.

I purchased this to transfer images/video from my devices to my laptop whilst on the go. First impressions. The build quality of the item is nice, it feels like it has a quality element unlike others I have used. So far I have used a variety of SD cards both standard and Micro with no reading issues or errors. The caps on the end are a nice touch to protect the connections. They fit on securely and are unlikely to come off accidentally reducing the chance of you losing them. All in all it’s very easy to use, works with no issues and seems compatible with all the main brands of cards. For the money it’s a great buy.

So, this worked and worked well. But there were two issues I had. The first was not the device but the phone interface for transferring files. It took me a while to realise that Android phones don't typically (if ever) have an option to share files directly to an external device, but can through the file management system. I have an old Samsung S8, and photos from the gallery cannot be sent directly to an external (attached) device. For that, it required me going into the file management system ("My Files") and do it from there. A pain, as bulk sending can't be done from the phone which was the reason for my purchase (again, phone flaw, not device flaw). However, I returned this item due to my second irritation: I have a very thin phone case, barely more than a skin, and this wouldn't plug in deeply enough with the case on to make a connection. I had to remove the case each time. And that's just not happening!! I purchased another better-known make and their's worked with my case. The good things - the end caps seem secure, it worked with my SD and micro-SD Cards, worked instantly with my laptop, and did connect to the phone. It also comes with a mini strap so it can be attached to a keyring. And it's cheaper than some other brands (was £2 cheaper than my replacement) but maybe there's a reason for that.

I picked up the UGREEN USB SD Card Reader 3.0 because I wanted something that works with both USB-C and standard USB-A ports without fuss, and this ticks that box nicely. ✅ Pros . Plugs straight into USB-C or USB-A — no adapter needed . Fast transfers with USB 3.0 (way quicker than older readers) . Compact and lightweight — great for travel or on the go . Supports SD and microSD cards, so no extra dongles . Feels sturdy and well-made for the price ❌ Cons . No built-in cable — requires direct plug-in which can stick out . Doesn’t support CF/other larger professional cards . Transfer speeds depend on card quality — reader isn’t the only bottleneck It’s a simple, reliable card reader that does the job for most photography and storage tasks, especially if you shuffle between laptop ports or devices with USB-C. Great value for what it offers.

Bought this to transfer photos and videos from my phone and camera, to my computer, and visa versa. I chose this item as it has the USB stick to connect to my computer, it has the USB C to connect to my phone (iPhone 15) and it has the option of using a normal card reader and a mini card reader so I am able to transfer video from either my camera or from my dash cam in the car. Very simple to use simply plug it in and it will instantly show up on my computer desktop or in my iPhone photo storage. It comes with separate dust protectors for the two stick ends, it is very small and compact making it easy to store away when not in use. It seems sturdy and well-made. You may need to remove a phone case to be able to insert the USB C into your phone. In my opinion for the money, you will not find a better storage transfer to use. It’s been completely perfect for my needs. Great value.

This dual-port card reader has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. Whether I’m importing photos straight into my phone via USB-C or transferring files to my laptop’s USB-A port, it works flawlessly every single time. The plug-and-play design means no faffing about with drivers, and data transfers are consistently speedy – a real boon when you’re up against tight deadlines. It’s solidly built, remarkably compact and fits neatly in my pocket, so I always have it on hand. For the price, the quality is outstanding, and I’ve seen zero glitches even after months of daily use. Honestly, I’d buy this again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable, time-saving solution for photo, video or document transfers.

Cracking little card reader. Reads both SD and microSD quickly, and works flawlessly with USB-C and USB-A — ideal for laptops, Macs, and even phones. No waiting around, no random disconnects, and no fuss. Perfect for pulling footage off action cameras or transferring photos on the go. Feels solid, compact enough for any kit bag, and just does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Super handy bit of gear — highly recommended.

I like Ugreen products, I've bought a lot of them now, especially cables, and like their quality. This seems up to the usual quality, except for one major issue. The usb-c plug is a bit too short, it won't plug into my Galaxy S22 Ultra with a case on it, you have to remove the case each time. Ugreen cables fit with the case on, so I don't know why they didn't make this the same length as the plug on their cables. I wouldn't buy it again because of this.
