All SmartQ card readers are plug and play, with no app or driver to install. The eight readers are USB 3.0 readers, up to 5Gbps, but the 3-in-1 runs at USB 2.0 speed on its Lightning plug. The H303 hub is listed too, because it has SD and microSD slots. Prices change often, so see today's price on Amazon from each product page.

- Android phone: the USB-C microSD reader for drone and dash cam cards, or the C350 if you also use SD cards.
- Computer: USB-A port, the C307, or the C368 for CF cards. USB-C only, the C368 USB-C. Both ports, the C368 Pro.
