Product Information

Full details

This Lexar Professional Multi-Card 3-in-1 USB 3.1 Reader is designed for photographers, videographers, and content creators who need fast and reliable access to multiple memory card formats. Its key benefit is the ability to transfer files quickly across SD, microSD, and CompactFlash cards using a single USB 3.1 connection, significantly speeding up post-production workflows. A potential caveat is that optimal speeds are achieved with UHS-I SD and microSD cards, while CompactFlash performance has its own limit.
