External card reader – the most important things at a glance

Most laptops and PCs have an integrated card reader that supports the most common memory card formats (e.g. SD, microSD, CF, Memory Stick). However, this is often slow and unreliable. An external card reader is a good alternative, especially for professionals and users who frequently work with memory cards.

External card readers differ mainly in the number of supported memory card formats and the transmission speed. Most models support the most common formats such as SD, microSD, CF and Memory Stick. However, the transmission speed is often limited and depends on the specific model.

Some external card readers have a built-in USB hub that allows multiple devices to be connected at the same time. This is particularly useful if you want to connect an external hard drive and a printer, for example.

External card reader prices vary by model and manufacturer. Usually the prices are between 10 and 100 €.
