Vantec UGT-CR702 USB 3.2 Gen2x1 CFexpress Type B SD 4.0 UHS-II card reader

Dual-slot CFexpress Type B and SD 4.0 reader

The Vantec UGT-CR702 accepts CFexpress Type B cards and SD 4.0 UHS-II cards in a single USB-C device. It suits photographers and videographers who offload both formats on location or at a workstation. The compact black housing measures 97.6 by 61.6 by 16.4 millimetres and draws power from the host port.

USB 3.2 Gen2x1 interface limits throughput to 10

The reader connects through a reversible USB-C cable at USB 3.2 Gen2x1 speed, so the host port caps maximum transfer rate at 10 Gbps even when the inserted cards support higher internal speeds. UASP support reduces protocol overhead, but the bus ceiling remains the practical bottleneck for sustained copies.

Driver-free plug-and-play on modern systems

Windows, macOS and Linux recognise the reader instantly without extra software; the Dual LUN design lets both slots appear as separate drives for simultaneous access. Hot-swap works reliably, though SD 4.0 cards require an adapter for microSD or miniSD form factors and some older USB-A ports may not supply enough current for peak CFexpress performance.
