Does anyone know if a standard UHS I SD card reader will read the newer UHS II SD cards ?

Thanks for any information you may have.

Some will, some won’t. If one does, it will be at UHS 1 speeds. What model are you specifically referring to?

I have a Lexar Model # LRW300U and a Delkins Model # DDReader-41

Thank you!

If you are using UHS II cards in your camera I would suggest that you buy a UHS II reader so that you take advantage of the increased transfer speeds.  I was very pleasantly surprised at the increase in speed when I upgraded my reader.  Personally I use a ProGrade reader, but there are many good UHS II readers available at a range of prices and in different configurations.

Have not tried the UHS II cards yet .... that is sort of my debate.

I have a few decent UHS I cards already but I was contemplating getting some UHS II cards for my R5 and since I already have 2 CF/SD readers and a CFExpress reader was hoping not to have to get another one -:)

I don't think the read speed reduction from using a UHS 1 reader would bother me much but just wondering if it would work at all for UHS II cards.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

This indicates the Lexar does read them:

I can’t find out about the Delkin, but I believe the UHS 2 cards are backward compatible with the UHS 1 readers, just at the slower read speed. Here’s a link to info on sd cards:

You can always just connect the camera to the computer and then the camera becomes your card reader...

Would that provide the highest transfer speeds?

In my experience with Sony cameras connecting the camera to the computer to transfer images directly is really slow.  Using a fast card reader is my choice.

It depends on the camera.
