What is the maximum data transfer speed?
When connected to a USB 3.0 port, the USBALL3 supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. Actual speed depends on the memory card's speed class and your computer hardware. On USB 2.0, speeds will be limited to 480 Mbps.
Does the USBALL3 support UHS-I or UHS-II SD cards?
The USBALL3 supports UHS-I cards, which are common in most SD and microSD cards. It does not support UHS-II cards at full speed. If you use a UHS-II card, it will work at UHS-I speed, still offering good performance for everyday use.

Disconnect the reader from power before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners. Keep the USB connector and card slot free of dust and debris by using a can of compressed air occasionally.
What should I do if the LED indicator does not light up?
The LED lights up when the reader is connected and the host device is powered. If it stays off, try a different USB port or cable (if detachable). Check that the memory card is not damaged. If the LED remains off on multiple devices, the reader may be defective and should be replaced.
