  • Our take on the Mini USB-C MicroSD Card Reader

    This is a tiny USB-C reader that takes MicroSD cards only. The card slides into the rear of the metal body and the plug goes straight into a laptop, phone or PC port, with a blue LED showing when it is in use. It suits Raspberry Pi imaging, moving files off cameras and drones, and anyone who wants a reader that hangs on a keyring. It is a bare reader with no cable and no card, so it competes on size and build rather than on features.

    About the Mini USB-C MicroSD Card Reader

    This is a mini card reader that plugs into a USB-C port on a laptop, phone or PC. It reads MicroSD cards only. Uses include writing Raspberry Pi OS to a MicroSD card and moving project files to a PC. It also handles other MicroSD data transfer jobs.

    The MicroSD card pops into the rear of the adapter, and the adapter then pushes into the USB-C port. A blue LED lights up when it is in use. The body is rugged metal with a dark grey finish. A hole in the body lets you loop a wire or thin chain through it for hanging or for a key ring.

    Questions and answers

    Does it work with an iPhone?
    It uses USB-C, so it fits USB-C iPads and iPhone 15 and later models. Older Lightning iPhones need a different adapter.
    Can it read full-size SD cards?
    No. The slot accepts MicroSD cards only.
    Is a MicroSD card included?
    No. The reader is sold on its own, so you need your own MicroSD card.
    Can I use it to install Raspberry Pi OS?
    Yes. It is a standard USB-C card reader, so imaging tools like Raspberry Pi Imager see the card as a normal drive.
    Does it need a cable or driver?
    No. It plugs straight into the port and works with the built-in drivers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPadOS.
    Will it block the ports next to it?
    It is short and sits close to the laptop, so a tightly packed port row can get crowded. A short USB-C extension cable avoids that.
    Where is the Mini USB-C MicroSD Card Reader cheapest?
    At The Pi Hut, for $4.47, as of our latest check.
    What do buyers say about the Mini USB-C MicroSD Card Reader?
