Frequently asked questions
Can this Lexar card reader handle both SD and microSD cards at the same time?
Yes. The Lexar Professional USB Type-C Dual-Slot Card Reader features two independent slots — one for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards and one for microSD/SDHC/SDXC cards — so you can read or transfer from both simultaneously.
What is the maximum transfer speed this card reader supports?
When used with UHS-II compatible cards, the reader achieves read speeds of up to 312 MB/s. For UHS-I cards, it supports speeds of up to 170 MB/s, ensuring fast transfers regardless of your card type.
Does this card reader work with my older laptop that only has a USB-A or USB 2.0 port?
The reader uses an integrated USB Type-C connector, so you would need a USB-C to USB-A adapter for USB-A ports. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0, meaning it will function on older ports, though transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 rates.
