Glossary

USB-A

The number of USB ports located on the body of the card reader or hub (see "Type"). This parameter determines the number of USB ports you will have at your disposal after connecting the device. "Pure" card readers and combined models generally have 1, 2, and even 3 USB ports, while hubs typically feature 4 or more ports.

And the USB connection interface affects the speed. It is worth noting that the speed of the input port does not necessarily indicate overall throughput, as simultaneous connection of USB drives, phones, and memory cards can slow down data transmission, which is in any case limited by the connection interface of the device itself to the PC or laptop (refer to "Connection Interface").

— USB-A 2.0. The outdated version 2.0 provides a data transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps.

— USB-A 5Gbps. Previously known as the standards USB 3.2 gen1 and USB 3.0 (they sure know how to confuse). This version provides a maximum speed 10 times greater (4.8 Gbps) and higher power supply, allowing for energy-demanding devices and extensive splitters to be connected.

— USB-A 10Gbps. Further enhancement of the USB-A 5Gbps standard (and as expected, with multiple previous names like USB 3.2 gen2 and simply USB 3.1), achieving a maximum speed of 10 Gbps and...an even higher power supply for external devices.
