Due to this width, on laptops that have USB ports close together, it may overlap, rendering one of the ports unusable when this is plugged in. However, there is one slight design flaw and that is in terms of how wide it is. Additionally, it just slots right into a USB port with no additional wires or power required, making it a simple, plug and play device. This budget SD card reader’s design is also brilliant, coming in at 0.47 x 1.30 x 2.56 inches thus making it extremely lightweight and portable so you can carry it round in your backpack or even have it on your person. The speeds are similarly great, with up to 5.0Gb/s due to its USB 3.0 architecture, making for quick file transfers between devices. Another nifty feature is the ability to read two SD cards at once so you’re able to have one in both slots and see what’s on both at the same time, handy for finding your files and folders if you’ve got a case full of memory cards.

It sports functionality for both traditional and micro SD cards, so you don’t have to worry about owning any adapters or carrying them with you to get access to your memory card files.

As with most Anker products, this SD card reader is a budget choice but one that certainly isn’t budget in its features. Featured in many of our buying guides, Anker is back again with a budget SD card reader that more than justifies its place on our top five list.
