Transfer information from any SD device (PDA/Smartphone/Digital Camera etc.) to your PC or Mac using the normal USB port. This clever device fits into any standard SD slot and also plugs straight into a normal USB slot.

Now you can transfer your data straight to your PC or Mac without adaptors, cables or wireless. The Proporta SD Card with Built-in USB is ideal for putting digital images onto a friend’s computer or use in an internet café or hotel when travelling. Simply slot the card into the SD card slot of your camera, PDA or other mobile device and use it in the normal way, once the data is on the card, simply remove it and plug it into the USB port of your computer.


Secure Digital Cards are widely used in Cameras, Smartphones and some MP3 players. They are extremely lightweight. This SD Card is different from other versions in which this has an USB Port on one end. By connecting your device to this SD and with the USB end you can charge or sync your camera or PDA without the need of wires or cables. Some SD Manufacturers sell SD with USB reader they go for $49, this Proporta SD + USB costs $109.95, the difference is the later has USB built in the card. I have a 51/1 reader/writer, so I won't be needing this but if you want a quick USB connection for your SD cards then this is an ideal choice.
