AngelbirdCard Reader SD Dual - for SD Memory Cards - UHS-I and UHS-II - Fast Data Transfer and Uninterrupted File Offloading

From the moment I unboxed the Angelbird Card Reader SD Dual, I knew I was in for a treat. The sleek aluminum casing radiates durability and professionalism, making it feel like a premium piece of gear built to last. Is it weird that I genuinely enjoyed opening the packaging? One large outer box provides all the context, while inside, three neatly arranged compartments hold the various pieces—logical, secure, and satisfying. This packaging and product almost feels like they could have been designed by Jony Ive at Apple!Thoughtful Design and AccessoriesAngelbird didn’t skimp on the extras. Right out of the box, you get a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-A adapter for legacy systems, anti-skid rubber pads, a microSD to SD adapter, and even Velcro strips for both cable management and stacking multiple readers together. These aren’t throw-ins—they’re deliberate choices that show real thought for real workflows.Performance That Matches Its LooksWith dual UHS-II SD card slots, this reader handles simultaneous transfers without breaking a sweat. I put it through a solid battery of V60 card tests—large RAW file dumps, repeated transfers, full benchmark suites, you name it—and it kept up flawlessly. I’m eager to see how it handles my V90 cards next. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface delivers consistent 10 Gb/s performance; mine’s plugged directly into the rear motherboard ports for a cleaner setup, and it just works. Need 20 Gb/s? It’s ready for that too—no upgrades or workarounds required.Innovative Features for Peace of MindThe Solid Connect recessed USB-C port offers a firm, wiggle-free connection that minimizes long-term wear and accidental disconnects. Around back, two hardware write-protect switches—each with its own status LED—give you precise control over card safety. SD card lock tabs are notorious for failing when you need them most, and I’m done trusting them. With this setup, I know my data’s protected, and the wear stays on the over-engineered reader, not the card.A Reliable Companion Across DevicesWhether I’m importing RAW files from my Leica Q2, working with Fuji X-T footage, or flashing a Raspberry Pi card, this reader hasn’t missed a beat. It plays well with Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it a great fit for nearly any setup.Final ThoughtsThis is, without question, the best card reader I’ve ever owned. It nails the fundamentals—speed, build quality, flexibility—but also includes thoughtful touches that elevate it above the rest. The value for the money here is impressive: you’re not just getting a tool, you’re getting reliability, peace of mind, and a few workflow upgrades baked right in. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their gear.

Mi esposo no ha tenido problemas. Buen tamaño tal como la foto.

Love the design of this card reader, but most importantly it's blazing fast with my v90 cards. Only con: it does get quite hot sometimes.

Great product, great build quality.
