Need a quick way to transfer files and images from your SD or Micro SD cards to your PC? Right now Amazon is offering the Sabrent USB 3.0 OTG Card Reader for just $6.98 after you apply coupon code "PL7MOA5Q" during checkout. This tiny little stick features both USB 3.0 Type C and USB Type-A ports for maximum compatibility and up to 5Gb/s bandwidth.

Sabrent USB 3.0 OTG Card Reader for $6.98

This Sabrent OTG card reader is no bigger than a standard USB flash drive. One end has a USB 3.0 Type-C port and the other end has a USB 3.0 Type A port. Both sides include caps so they're protected when not being used. The USB 3.0 interface boasts theoretical speeds of up to 5Gb/s or 625MB/s (actual performance is determined by the speed of your card). The card reader has slots for both Micro SD/SDXC and full-sized SD/SDXC cards.

Using the card reader is as simple as inserting it into one of your spare USB ports. It requires no new drivers, so it's literally plug and play. Because it can plug into both USB Type-A and Type-C ports, it will work with pretty much any laptop or PC built in the past decade. I've owned this exact card reader for a few years now and often transfer images and videos from my DSLR to my PC, and I've never experienced any issues with it. Sabrent card readers collectively have over 13,000 positive reviews with a decent Fakespot "B" rating, and for what it's worth, Amazon even states on the page that "this product has fewer returns than average compared to similar products."

You might find these USB-A to -C adapters useful as well

USB Type-C might be the new standard, but what if your PC or laptop simply doesn't have enough of those ports? Here's a cheap and easy solution as long as you have older USB Type-A legacy ports. For a limited time, Amazon is offering a 4-pack of Elebase USB Type-A to USB Type-C Adapters for only $3.99 after you apply a $5 off coupon code "KLIMVVIG". That comes out to only $1 per adapter. The Elebase USB adapters collectively have nearly 55,000 reviews on Amazon with a 4.6/5 star rating and a respectable Fakespot "A" grade.
