Angelbird SD Dual Card Reader | 10Gb/s USB-C | UHS-II

Transfer Without Bottlenecks: The Angelbird SD Dual Card Reader

In fast-paced professional environments, time lost is opportunity lost. Photographers and videographers working with high-resolution images and 4K+ video often face workflow delays when offloading content from multiple memory cards. Traditional single-slot readers force sequential transfers, and slower USB interfaces choke modern UHS-II speeds—creating unnecessary friction when deadlines are tight.

Dual-Slot Power. Simultaneous Speed.

The Angelbird SD Dual Card Reader is engineered to remove these roadblocks. With dual UHS-II SDXC card slots and a high-speed USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 interface (10 Gb/s), it enables simultaneous two-card processing—cutting transfer times in half. Built for professional-grade reliability, it’s also fully compatible with UHS-I cards and integrates seamlessly with Thunderbolt 3 setups.
