Is it USB micro or mini into the device?
Daniel O
on Mar 16, 2020
BEST ANSWER: The included cable has standard USB 3.0 Type A connectors on both ends. The plug on the reader itself is standard USB 3.0 Type A. This means you can replace it with a different cable that has micro/mini on one end but standard USB 3.0 Type A on the other.

USB Micro for the input. This is a good deal and I am enjoying using mine and it has worked very well on a computer I just built.

It's USB 3.0 Micro B. The cable was included with the one I ordered, in October 2019. It goes to USB 3.0 type A.

Can this product connect to an Ipad?
Deidre P
on Jan 16, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I'm not as familiar with the connections on the newer iPads (ie: the iPad Pro, etc) but this card reader is a pure USB 3.0 device. So, for example, if your iPad has a USB-C connection, you'll need to buy an adapter of some sort so that this reader can connect. You can also look at Monoprice or other retailers for docking stations that work with USB 2/3.0 devices and that may be your way in for iPads. Hope this helps!

No, it connects through a standard USB port. If you had an adapter for the lighting port, you might be able to make it work. But can't guarantee it.

Be careful with microSD cards!
This reader has a slot on the side for microSD cards. Unlike others that have either a spring-loaded slot or a hard stop, this one allows you to push it in to the point that you can't retrieve it. I had to take the reader apart, ruining it, to get the card out. There does not seem to be a problem with other types of cards.

Awkward to use
difficult to insert cards without bending pins. Thankfully, we have retired it.

A card reader for all of my PCs
I have several desktop computers. Only one of them has an internal card reader which eventually died. By purchasing the Monoprice USB 3.0 Five Slot Card Reader - CF/ SD/ MS/ xD/ microSD & M2.. I now have the flexibility of having a small portable card reader that I can use with any computer that I own. I'm very happy with the size and the high quality construction of this card reader. It can be used with equipment that only has USB-C inputs using a USB to USB-C converter.

Inexpensive card reader
It is just what I needed. My old one bit the dust. It has a nice long cable and it appears to work very well. Good value for price.
Thank you

Does Everything I needed It To Do.
Does exactly what I need it to do. It is small so it does not take up much room either.
