How to use

Insert an SD or MicroSD card into the corresponding slot on the card reader, then connect the Type-C plug to a compatible USB-C port on your computer or device. The operating system should recognise the card as an external storage device and present it in the file manager for immediate access. To remove a card safely, eject or unmount the card from your computer before pulling it from the reader.

Recommendations

For best results, use high-quality SD or MicroSD cards rated for the data rates you require (UHS-I or higher for high-resolution photos and video). Avoid inserting multiple storage devices into a single port simultaneously, and store the reader in a protective pouch to prevent scratches to the aluminium finish.
