In the evolution of memory card technology, SD4.0 and SD7.0 (Micro SD Express) represent two different generations of performance standards, with the main differences lying in their interface protocols, transfer rates, and application scenarios:

In brief: * SD4.0 (UHS-II) is a high-speed extension of the traditional SD protocol, suitable for mainstream professional cameras and card readers; * Micro SD Express (SD7.0/8.0) is a revolutionary upgrade, introducing a PCIe/NVMe architecture to elevate Micro SD card performance to near SSD levels, representing the future direction of high-performance mobile storage.
R1035B Features
The R1035B is a high-end triple-slot USB Type-C card reader designed for compatibility with both traditional high-speed cards and next-generation Express memory cards. It features the following core technologies:
* **Independent Card Slot Recognition, Three-Slot Concurrent Operation:
** Supports SD 4.0 (UHS-II) cards, Micro SD 4.0 (UHS-II) cards, and Micro SD Express 8.0/7.1 cards. The system recognizes each card as an independent drive, enabling high-speed cross-card copying without repeated insertion and removal.
* **USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Ultra-High-Speed
Uplink Interface:
** Utilizes a USB Type-C interface, providing up to 10Gbps of data transfer bandwidth, fully unleashing the PCIe 3.0 x1 (approximately 8Gbps) performance potential of Micro SD Express cards.
One USB 10Gbps Type-A downstream port can be used to connect other USB Type-A devices. Fully protocol compatible, backwards-safe.
* Supports SDHC/SDXC/SDUC memory cards (maximum capacity up to 128TB);
* Compatible with multiple bus modes such as UHS-I/UHS-II/DDR200;
* Micro SD Express cards automatically downgrade to UHS-I mode on non-Express hosts, ensuring broad applicability.
Plug and play, driverless, cross-platform support.
No driver installation required.
Supports mainstream operating systems such as Windows 10/11 (32/64-bit), macOS, iPadOS, Linux, and Android, enabling seamless cross-device collaboration.
Intelligent LED Indicator System oSD4.0 and Micro SD4.0 share a white indicator light: constantly lit when the card is inserted and powered on, flashing during read/write operations, and off when the host is in sleep mode.
* Micro SD Express cards are equipped with an independent white indicator light: flashing when powered on and not inserted, constantly lit when inserted, and flashing during read/write operations; it remains constantly lit even when the host is in sleep mode for easy status monitoring.
Industrial-Grade Reliability Passed drop, vibration, insertion/removal force, salt spray, and durability tests to ensure long-term stable operation.

R1035B Applications
With its comprehensive support for both new and old generations of high-speed memory cards, the R1035B becomes an ideal data hub for various scenarios:
Professional Imaging Workflows: Photographers and film crews can simultaneously read multiple high-speed cards (including the latest Micro SD Express cards) from drones, action cameras, and cinema cameras, quickly importing 8K RAW or high-bitrate ProRes video, significantly improving post-production efficiency.
Content Creators and Mobile Offices: YouTubers, vloggers, and designers can directly read camera/phone memory cards on MacBooks, Windows laptops, or iPads. The three-drive design facilitates material categorization, backup, and cross-device synchronization.
Industrial and Edge Computing Scenarios: Suitable for devices requiring frequent reading of multiple memory cards, such as automotive black boxes, security monitoring, and industrial cameras, the R1035B provides stable and high-speed data transfer capabilities.
Future-Compatible Users: As devices supporting Micro SD Express become increasingly common (such as high-end smartphones, tablets, and laptops), the R1035B is strategically positioned to ensure the long-term effectiveness of users' investments.
Devices support SD4.0 & Micro SD Express
These cameras are equipped with UHS-II compatible SD card slots, which can fully utilize the performance of high-speed cards and are suitable for 4K/6K/8K video and high-speed continuous shooting.

Note: Some entry-level or mid-range models (such as Sony A7C II, Canon R8) only support UHS-I. Please check the specifications before purchasing.
Professional-grade drones generally use UHS-II storage to meet the requirements of high bitrate video recording (such as H.265, ProRes, RAW).

Note: While the DJI Mavic 3 series (including the Cine version) supports Apple ProRes, it uses an internal SSD + microSD card (UHS-I only) and does not support UHS-II. Consumer drones (such as the DJI Mini 4 Pro and Air 3) only support UHS-I.
• Game Consoles: Nintendo has officially confirmed that this is a mandatory requirement for the next-generation Switch 2. Using older MicroSD cards will prevent you from running games, installing DLC, or reading save data; they will only be usable for viewing screenshots and videos. Note: Although Micro SD Express devices are not yet widely available, as the next-generation standard promoted by the SD Association, it is rapidly being adopted in professional and industrial fields. The R1035B card reader is designed to meet this trend, balancing current and future needs.
