Overview

The SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-I Card Reader (model: 外付メモリカードリーダー26) is an external memory card reader designed for SDXC, SDHC, and SD cards. With a USB 3.0 interface, it delivers read speeds up to 200 MB/s, allowing fast transfer of large photo and video files. It supports UHS-I cards up to U3/V30 speed class, making it a solid choice for photographers and videographers who need quick offloads.

Connectivity & Compatibility

This reader connects via USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. It works plug-and-play on Windows 10/11, macOS 10.12+, and most Linux distributions. It supports SDXC (up to 2TB), SDHC, and standard SD cards. Note that UHS-II cards will operate in UHS-I mode, limiting speeds to the UHS-I ceiling (~104 MB/s).

Product Info

Released around 2019, this reader typically retails in the ¥2,000–¥3,000 range. SanDisk offers a 1-year warranty. The reader is a compact, cable-integrated design with no additional accessories. It occupies the entry-to-mid tier market segment, offering reliable basic performance for everyday SD card reading.

Best Use Cases

DSLR/Mirrorless Camera Users: Ideal for transferring RAW photos and 4K video clips from SD cards to a PC. The UHS-I support ensures U3 cards perform at their best. If you use UHS-II cards, consider a UHS-II reader instead. Content Creators & Photographers: Frequent bulk transfers benefit from the 200 MB/s read speed, reducing wait times. Write speed depends on the card, not the reader. * Mobile Professionals: The compact size and integrated cable make it easy to carry with a laptop. However, users with USB-C-only laptops (like recent MacBooks) will need a USB-A adapter or a USB-C reader.

Things to Consider

This is a UHS-I reader; UHS-II cards will operate at reduced speeds. If you need the fastest possible transfers, invest in a UHS-II reader. The USB 3.0 interface is adequate for most cards, but the bottleneck is almost always the card itself. The built-in cable is relatively short, which may limit desk placement. There is no dedicated microSD slot; you'll need an adapter.
