The TP-Link UA430 is a USB 3.0 Type-A card reader with one SD slot and one microSD (TF) slot. It reads UHS-I cards at up to 200 MB/s (with a compatible card), accepts SD, SDHC and SDXC formats up to 2TB, and both slots can be used at the same time. A 150 mm braided cable and an aluminium alloy case finish it.

UA430 overview

The UA430 is the USB Type-A member of TP-Link's 2-in-1 USB 3.0 card reader line. It plugs into a standard rectangular USB-A port on a desktop or laptop and gives you two card slots side by side: a full-size SD slot and a microSD (TF) slot. TP-Link lists SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, plus microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC, at capacities up to 2TB TP-Link suggests it for quick photo downloads, fluid video editing and quick file transfers for 3D printers.

Speed comes from two places. The USB 3.0 Type-A connector is rated at up to 5 Gbps and stays backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. On the card side, the UA430 supports UHS-I and TP-Link quotes read speeds up to 200 MB/s, above the 104 MB/s of the standard UHS-I bus. TP-Link's footnote is clear that the 200 MB/s figure needs a card and device capable of that speed and that real transfer rates are not guaranteed, varying with device conditions and the environment. Because the two slots work simultaneously, you can read from both cards at once or copy straight from one card to the other.

TP-Link describes the UA430 as plug and play: no software install on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iPadOS or iOS hosts that have a USB-A port. If your device only has USB-C, TP-Link notes the reader can still be used through a USB-C male to USB-A female converter, sold separately. The 150 mm braided cable keeps the body away from neighbouring ports and reduces interference with them, and the aluminium alloy case adds durability. In the box are the UA430 card reader and a quick installation guide.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the UA430 from the ARC IP Networks team.

Last reviewed October 2026.

A USB Type-A port. Its connector is USB 3.0, rated up to 5 Gbps, and it also works in USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at those slower speeds.

TP-Link says you can connect it to a Type-C device through a USB-C male to USB-A female converter, which is sold separately. If your device is USB-C only, the UA430C or UA430D have that connector built in.

TP-Link quotes UHS-I read speeds up to 200 MB/s. That needs a card and device capable of the speed; TP-Link says actual rates are not guaranteed and vary with conditions.

SD, SDHC and SDXC in the SD slot, and microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC in the microSD (TF) slot, up to 2TB.

Yes. TP-Link states the two slots read and write simultaneously, so you can access both cards together or transfer from one card to the other.

No. TP-Link lists it as plug and play on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iPadOS and iOS.
