The only reader here that names UHS-II
Lexar Multi-Card 2-in-1, USB 3.1, SD and microSD, UHS-I and UHS-II, 312 MB/s stated
Two slots, two figures and two bus modes: the only reader on this shelf that names UHS-II, and the only one whose two published rates describe two different classes of card.
Specifications
- Host interface standard
- USB 3.1 — stated in the title and in the sixth bullet, which calls it high-speed USB 3.1 technology. No Gen 1 or Gen 2 suffix appears, and those two differ from each other by a factor of two
- Stated link rate
- Up to 312 MB/s — stated in the sixth bullet against the USB 3.1 interface. A second figure of up to 170 MB/s appears in the fourth bullet, attached there to backward compatibility with SD and microSD UHS-I cards. Both are printed on the same page and the listing does not reconcile them; both are reported here as written
- Connector type
- Not published on the listing — neither Type-A nor Type-C is named in the title or in any of the seven bullets
- Internal or external form
- External — the third bullet describes a compact, portable body, light and space-saving, meant for maximum mobility. No bay mounting or internal header is named
- Slot count
- Two — an SD slot and a microSD slot, stated in the first and second bullets
- Formats accepted
- SD and microSD — stated in the first bullet, with the seventh naming UHS-I and UHS-II cards of both shapes. No capacity ceiling is published, and no CF, MS or XD support is claimed
- Simultaneous slot access
- Both slots at once — stated in the second bullet, which describes transferring files from the SD and microSD slots to the computer at the same time
- Stated protocol support
- UHS-I and UHS-II — stated in the seventh bullet, which names support for SD and microSD cards in both modes, and in the fourth, which gives backward compatibility with UHS-I cards up to 170 MB/s. It is the only listing on this shelf that names UHS-II
- Cable arrangement
- Not published on the listing — no lead is described and no length is given. The third bullet sells the body on being compact and space-saving and does not say how it reaches the machine
- Amazon reference
- B085Z7P3LC (same reference on 5 Amazon marketplaces)
- EAN
- 4895217903734
On the listing
A Lexar Multi-Card 2-in-1 external card reader on USB 3.1, described as moving data quickly from SD and microSD cards straight onto a computer; simultaneous transfer of files from the SD and microSD slots to the machine; a compact and portable body, light and space-saving for maximum mobility; backward compatibility with SD and microSD UHS-I cards, up to 170 MB/s; a two-year limited warranty; high-speed USB 3.1 technology with transfer speeds of up to 312 MB/s; and support for SD and microSD cards in both UHS-I and UHS-II.
The only UHS-II on this shelf
Seven listings in this hub, and one of them names the faster bus mode.
That is the fact this page turns on. UHS-II cards carry a second row of contacts along the back edge and a faster bus behind them; a reader that does not support the mode simply ignores those contacts, and the card works at UHS-I speed with nothing announcing the drop.
The silence is the problem. A photographer who has bought UHS-II cards and plugs them into a reader with no mode named will get UHS-I transfers and no error message, and the money spent on the cards goes nowhere. Six of the seven readers here either name only UHS-I or name no mode at all.
Three hundred and twelve, and a hundred and seventy
Two figures, in two separate bullets, describing two different situations.
The sixth bullet gives up to 312 MB/s against USB 3.1. The fourth gives up to 170 MB/s and attaches it to backward compatibility with UHS-I cards.
Read together they say something sensible: the higher figure belongs to the faster card class this reader supports, and the lower one to the older class it still handles. The page does not spell that out, and reporting the pair rather than picking one is the only accurate way to publish them.
Neither number describes a transfer on its own. The card sets one ceiling, the reader sets a second, the socket at the machine end sets a third, and the lowest of the three is what happens.
USB 3.1, without the suffix
The title and the sixth bullet both say USB 3.1 and neither says Gen 1 or Gen 2.
That matters here more than it does on most of this shelf, because a reader claiming 312 MB/s is claiming a rate that sits well above what the older USB 3.1 Gen 1 class comfortably carries in practice. The suffix is the line that would settle which class the reader expects to find, and it is not written.
One reader in this hub names its lane arrangement explicitly. This one names the generation and leaves the variant open.
Two slots, both live
The second bullet is short and it publishes the right thing: files transfer from the SD and the microSD slot to the computer at the same time.
A reader that multiplexes its slots would not do that, and readers rarely admit to multiplexing. For anybody emptying a camera card and a drone card in one sitting, simultaneous access turns two jobs into one.
What the compact body does not say
The third bullet sells portability — light, space-saving, made to be carried — and the page never describes the connection.
No plug shape. No cable, and no length if there is one. On a reader whose whole physical argument is that it travels well, the way it attaches to a laptop is a strange thing to leave out.
The two-year limited warranty in the fifth bullet is the other commercial term, and it is the second longest published on this shelf.
Before ordering
Read your cards before this page: UHS-II cards are what makes the higher figure meaningful, and UHS-I cards put you on the lower one whatever the reader supports. Check the socket class at the machine end. And confirm the plug shape with the seller, because nothing here names it.

It is stocked on the British Amazon store as well, in that country’s own currency. The range above leaves those out: it counts euro stores and no others.
The American Amazon store returned nothing at all, so the buy button there opens a search in that country rather than a page that would not load.
