Most modern laptops and smartphones lack built-in memory card slots, forcing users to either rely on cloud transfers or hunt for a bulky adapter. Anker’s new 2-in-1 USB card reader solves that problem for less than a coffee—$9, to be exact—with a steep 50% discount on both USB-C and USB-A versions.
The deal is especially compelling for photographers, videographers, or anyone who frequently moves files between devices. Unlike older USB-A models, the USB-C version is compatible with nearly every modern device, from MacBooks and Windows laptops to iPhones and Android phones. Even if your phone lacks a dedicated slot, this tiny adapter lets you pull photos directly from an SD card without juggling cables or third-party apps.
- Compatibility: SD (up to 2GB) and microSD (up to 128GB)
- Port types: USB-C and USB-A (both on sale)
- Transfer speed: USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps)
- Design: Ultra-compact, fits into USB-C ports without obstruction
- Warranty: 18 months from Anker
- Price: $9 (50% off)
While the USB 2.0 speeds won’t rival Thunderbolt or USB 4.0 for large video files, it’s more than capable of handling photos, documents, and small videos. The real advantage is its portability—weighing almost nothing and taking up almost no space, it’s the kind of accessory that disappears into a pocket or bag until needed. For travelers or creatives who juggle multiple devices, this reader eliminates the frustration of incompatible adapters or cloud-dependent workflows.
If you’ve been putting off buying a card reader, now’s the time. Both versions are discounted to $9, making it one of the cheapest ways to future-proof your device setup. The USB-C model is the clear winner for most users, but the USB-A version works just as well if your devices are stuck in the past. Stock up before the deal vanishes.
