How To Choose A Memory Card Reader

Years ago, lots of laptop models had card readers as a regular feature but in recent times the quest for thinner and thinner convertibles led to many notebooks, especially the high-end ones, cutting off this handy piece of hardware.

3.0

Luckily the market is filled with various standalone memory card readers that come in all shapes and sizes. What’s better, you don’t have to spend days weighing different features in order to find the best memory card, reader. All you have to do is focus on a couple of important points such as the connection interface and memory card compatibility. Let’s cover every important point when picking a memory card reader.

Compatibility With Different Memory Card Types

This is the feature you should focus on first. Different readers support different memory cards. Some can only host one or two memory card types, which can be all you need. But if you’re someone dealing with lots of different memory cards on a regular basis or plan to get a camera that uses a different memory card type than what you use at the moment, think about getting a card reader that supports all memory card types you might use.

On the other hand, if you use just the SD or MicroSD cards and don’t plan on using other memory card types, there’s no point in spending more money to get a versatile card that costs more. Just make sure you know which memory cards your next reader should support.

Interface And Transfer Speed

This is very important since getting an old USB 2.0 reader can make you cry in agony. These days photos and especially videos can take a lot of data. Videos recorded in 4K resolution can take dozens of gigabytes, sometimes more. If you get a USB 2.0 type reader moving those hefty high-def videos to your computer can take an eternity.

If you’re getting a memory card reader make sure that it supports USB 3.0 interface. Even flash drives support USB 3.0 for a decade now so there’s no point in getting a card reader with dated interface. USB 3.0 transfer speeds are miles ahead of USB 2.0. While USB 2.0 maxes out at about 53MBps USB 3.0 supports transfer speeds up to 640MBps, at least on paper.

Next, we have the connection interface. If you own a modern laptop chances are you have both USB-A and USB-C ports so it doesn’t matter which card reader you get, as long as it supports USB 3.0 interface. But if you have a Windows-based ultrabook or a recent MacBook Pro or Air model you’re limited to USB-C ports so it’s better to get a USB-C card reader unless you have a USB dongle or a USB hub. In that case, it doesn’t matter.

Other Points To Consider

Do You Have A Built-In Card Reader On Your Laptop – While ultrabooks and MacBook computers cut build-in card readers many laptops still have them. Those readers are usually limited to MicroSD cards and SD cards. In case you’re only using those two memory card types you don’t need to buy a separate card reader.

Getting A Memory Card Reader With USB Hub – If you have a laptop with only one or a couple USB-C ports and you need not only a card reader but also a USB hub for extra ports, think about getting a memory card reader with additional USB ports available on it. This way you can solve two problems with one device.

Size And Portability – Some card reader models feature flash drive design. They can be directly connected to a USB port instead of needing a cable. Those readers are smaller and weigh in less than card readers with connection cables so if you need a reader with maximum portability get one of those.

Some Memory Cards Work Best With Specific Memory Card Reader Models – Take a look at the listing for the SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC memory card. It states that max transfer speed is achievable only if using specific memory card reader models, those that offer transfer speed in line with the card’s UHS I-rated transfer speeds. When looking for a card reader make sure it can keep the pace with your memory card when it comes to max transfer speed.

Also, the maximum transfer speed can also be affected by your storage drive. If you own a hard drive you won’t be able to reach highest transfer speeds, which can go up to about 250MBps when using the best card readers. If you want the best possible transfer speed make sure to have a fast memory card (UHS-II in case of an SD card and UDMA 7 for CF cards), a card reader that supports UHS-II and UDMA 7 standards, and an SSD.
