Universal USB 3.0 Card Reader

The IOGEAR GFR381 is an external multi-card reader and writer connecting via SuperSpeed USB 3.0. It supports up to 59 different memory card formats including CompactFlash, SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, Memory Stick and MMC. The compact unit measures 3.3" x 1.9" x .5" and operates without external power. Hot-swappable plug-and-play functionality allows immediate use on compatible systems.

Photographers needing broad legacy support

This reader suits professionals and hobbyists who handle diverse card types such as CompactFlash, Olympus xD and older Memory Stick variants simultaneously. It eliminates the need for multiple single-format adapters on a desk. Users who only transfer modern SD or microSD cards may prefer a smaller, single-slot dongle. The device also does not serve builders requiring an internal 3.5-inch bay installation.

USB 3.0 interface at 5Gbps

The single specification that decides fit is the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface rated up to 5Gbps. This bandwidth governs maximum transfer rates from high-speed UHS-I or UDMA cards to the host computer. Systems limited to USB 2.0 ports will operate the reader at lower speeds. Buyers must verify their host has an available USB Type-A port for the supplied Micro-B to Standard-A cable.

Questions about this item

Does this reader need a USB 3.0 port on the computer to work?

It connects through the supplied Micro-B to Standard-A cable and will operate on any USB port, though SuperSpeed rates up to 5Gbps require a USB 3.0 host.

Will it read CompactFlash Type I and Type II cards that I still use?

Yes, the specifications list CF-Type I, CF-Type II and Microdrive among the supported CompactFlash formats.

How can I confirm the reader is active after plugging it in?

The device is hot-swappable and plug-and-play; the operating system will recognise it instantly and each inserted card appears as a separate drive.
