Card reader Titanum TA101B USB 2.0, blue — supports MicroSD, SD/SDHC, MMC, MS formats, 480 Mbit/s
The TITANUM TA101B USB 2.0 Blue card reader is a compact external device designed to read and transfer files from multiple memory card formats. It connects via USB 2.0 and is USB-powered, offering simple plug-and-play use without the need for an external power source. The reader supports common card types including MMC, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, RS-MMC, SD, SDHC and xD, and its blue housing provides a discreet but recognizable appearance for desktop or mobile setups.
The card reader provides a straightforward way to access data from a variety of memory cards with a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s over USB 2.0. Its external, bus-powered design eliminates the need for additional power adapters and ensures compatibility with most laptops and desktop PCs. The compact size and lightweight construction make it easy to carry with a laptop bag or keep on a work desk, while support for multiple card formats reduces the need for several dedicated readers.
Connect the TITANUM TA101B to an available USB port on your computer. Insert the memory card into the corresponding slot with the card contacts oriented correctly; the device supports a range of formats so ensure you use the proper slot for each card type. The reader functions as a removable storage device under supported operating systems, allowing you to drag and drop files using your file manager or import directly into photo and video software. When finished, safely eject the removable drive from the operating system before removing the memory card.
Use the card reader on a stable surface and avoid applying force when inserting or removing cards. For reliable transfers, keep device firmware and your computer's USB drivers up to date, and always perform an operating system eject/unmount operation before unplugging the reader or removing a memory card.
