Why This Adapter Is the Smart Buy

Cloud uploads drain data and hotel Wi-Fi crawls. The GS36 gives you wired-speed anywhere, costs less than a month of extra cloud storage and adds zero bulk to your EDC. Its alloy shell shrugs off pocket wear, while USB 3.0 bandwidth means you’ll spend minutes—not hours—moving gigabytes.

Interesting Facts About High-Speed Card Readers

USB 3.0’s 5 Gbps bus can, in theory, copy a full 1 GB file in under two seconds. Paired with modern UHS-I microSDs, real-world transfers reach 100 MB/s—around 4 × faster than typical hotel Wi-Fi. Lab tests also show metal-shell readers dissipate heat up to 20 % better than plastic, protecting cards from speed-throttling during long writes.
