Universal USB 2.0 Card Reader

The Verbatim 97705 is a compact flash reader that connects through any USB 2.0 port. It accepts a wide range of legacy and current memory card formats in a single piano-black unit. No external power supply is required for operation.

Photographers with mixed card libraries

This reader suits users who still work with CompactFlash, xD, Memory Stick or older SD variants alongside modern SDXC cards. Buyers who only need a single modern format such as microSD may prefer a smaller dedicated adapter. It is not for anyone requiring USB 3.0 or faster transfer speeds.

USB 2.0 interface

The sole interface is USB 2.0, which sets the maximum data throughput for every supported card. If your workflow demands the higher bandwidth of USB 3.0 or above, this model will not meet that requirement. All listed card formats operate at the speed the USB 2.0 connection allows.

Questions about this item

Which card formats does the 97705 read without extra adapters?

It reads CompactFlash Type I and II, SD, SDHC, SDXC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo, Memory Stick Micro (M2), MultiMedia Card (MMC) and xD-Picture Card directly. Mini SD and Micro-SD need separate adapters.

What does the USB 2.0 label mean for transfer speed in my PC?

The reader connects through a USB 2.0 port, so the host bus limits maximum throughput to the USB 2.0 signalling rate; real-world speed will also depend on the card's own read and write performance.

Does the USB 2.0 interface restrict which cards I can use?

No, the interface only affects transfer rate; the reader's slot array still accepts every listed format from CompactFlash through SDXC and the various Memory Stick and xD variants.
