(* Mac and PC devices with USB-C port) Review: Great product - If you buy a cheap card reader it’ll do the job just as good as this one. But eventually it will break and you’ll have to buy a new one unless you’re very gentle with it. Most card readers are cheap pieces of future trash. This is the premium option so you can skip that problem. I don’t think it should cost as much as it does. 60$ max and 50$ would be the sweet spot. That being said, as far as I’ve seen this product has no competition. I thought it would be bigger. The photos I’ve seen make it look massive, which to some degree made the price seem justifiable. It’s not big. My phone is bigger. It doesn’t take up much space at all. But it’s got a little weight on it, and a small light when it’s in use. It was worth the money. it comes with type C to type C, I bought a longer type c to type A and it works fine. If you’re spending money on your camera and buying good Lenses, upgrade your card readers too. Review: Great Purchase - This is a great product that works very well and holds up to use while in my travels as a wildlife photographer. Glad I got it , even though the price is high. ## Features - Compatible with CF, SD, and microSD cards - Premium aluminum enclosure helps keep card cool to maintain fast transfer speeds - USB-C 5Gbps port enables super-fast data transfer - Write-protect lock switch helps protect from overwriting - Pairs with the PRO-DOCK 4 reader docking station for simultaneous, scalable offloads - Compatible devices: mac (with usb-c port) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09K6YG7DW | | Additional Features | Premium aluminum enclosure, super-fast USB-C data transfer, write-protect lock switch, stackable design | | Best Sellers Rank | #575 in Computer Memory Card Readers | | Brand | SanDisk Professional | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | G-RAID Drives, Mac (with USB-C port), PC (with USB-C port), iPad devices (Type-C) | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 543 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 10000 megabits_per_second | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.2 Gen 1, USB Type C | | Item Weight | 0.12 kg | | Manufacturer | Sandisk Technologies, Inc. | | Media Type | CompactFlash | | Mfr Part Number | SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND | | Model Name | PRO-READER Multi-Card | | Model Number | SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | mac os x | | Slot Count | 3 | | Special Feature | Premium aluminum enclosure, super-fast USB-C data transfer, write-protect lock switch, stackable design Special Feature Premium aluminum enclosure, super-fast USB-C data transfer, write-protect lock switch, stackable design See more | | UPC | 718037891910 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 year limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SanDisk Professional - **Color:** Gray - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Media Type:** CompactFlash - **Special Feature:** Not_Performance_Used ## Images ![SANDISK Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KARFA1IpL.jpg) ![SANDISK Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GS4ViAC3L.jpg) ![SANDISK Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xSrifvVPL.jpg) ![SANDISK Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vT3NdBhwL.jpg) ![SANDISK Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zfx+p6oAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What type of cord comes with this?** A: 12" usb c to usb c **Q: What purpose does the hinged front bezel serve?** A: I have seen some videos online where if it is installed in the SanDisk ProDock 4, it helps to pull the card reader out of the dock using the hinge. I don't think it provides any use without the dock. **Q: Is this compatible for use on Android smart phones?** A: This is a card reader, to read files from various memory cards. It is intended to connect to a computer, either Windows or Mac or even Linux. I have never tried to connect it to my Android cell. Cells have limited storage and power compared to a computer, so I do not see a reason to copy files from a memory card to a cell phone. **Q: What is the maximum theoretical card storage capacity supported by this reader?** A: It does support 2tb when format32 is used. I have a 4tb drive that is being used for my video files. Keep in mind that I make sure that the video files and photos are below 4GB( optimal 3.8 is a very good size) My 5Tb partitioned into 2 tb drive with the remaining 750GB ( I suspect it, that it's over provisioning. Which is to be expected) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by M***N on July 8, 2023* If you buy a cheap card reader it’ll do the job just as good as this one.

Glad I got it , even though the price is high. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a must have to keep in your camera bag. *by G***4 on January 23, 2023* If you are a videographer or a photographer this is a must have device to keep in your camera bag this card reader is really fast at reading SD card and writing to SD card I have tried all different brands of card readers they get ridiculously hot and overheat and stop working and no longer read SD card’s. This card reader stays nice and cool no overheating issues and I only use SanDisk brand SD Cards nothing else. The only thing I wish it came with is a USB-C to USB-A cable that is 3 feet long. I end up having to order a 3 foot long USB-C to USB-A cable. The cable that is included USB-C to USB-c is way too short for desktop use. ## Frequently Bought Together - SanDisk Professional PRO-Reader Multi-Card - Multi-Slot High Performance Card Reader, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 - SDPR3A8-0000-GBAND - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II Memory Card - C10, U3, V60, 6K, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXEP-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/402169969-sandisk-professional-pro-reader-multi-card-multi-slot-high-performance](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/402169969-sandisk-professional-pro-reader-multi-card-multi-slot-high-performance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
