Overview

The UGREEN CM868 (55886) is a USB-C card reader with a small magnetic compartment for spare cards. It has two active SD slots and one microSD slot, and the cover stores two SD and two microSD cards. It suits photographers and anyone moving photos and video from camera or phone cards to a USB-C laptop, tablet or phone.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a USB-C laptop, tablet or phone whose port supports USB data or OTG (USB On-The-Go).
• Choose it if you want to carry a few spare cards with the reader. It is a reader with storage, not a five-slot reader.
• It is a UHS-I class reader. The slot shape does not give UHS-II operation; if you need UHS-II speeds, choose a UHS-II reader.
• It is not a waterproof backup case.

Key features

• Three active slots: SD1, SD2 and microSD/TF.
• Magnetic cover storing 2 SD and 2 microSD cards.
• Card path up to about 170 MB/s with a suitable high-speed card and host; the USB interface runs at up to 5 Gbps.
• Reads SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC cards, up to 2 TB.
• Short integrated braided USB-C cable, grey compact body about 82 × 50 × 15 mm.

What else you need

Memory cards and a USB-C host that supports USB mass storage or OTG. Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS/iPadOS and Android are listed.

Before you buy

• SD1 can be used with SD2, or with the microSD slot. SD2 and microSD cannot be used together because those positions share operation.
• Using two cards at once shares the available bandwidth.
• It does not repair corrupted cards or recover deleted files, and a stored card is not a backup: keep a second copy elsewhere.
• Card capacity and speed depend on the host as well as the card.
• Memory cards are not included.
