I know there are several USB hub dongles that could be used in a similar manner, but what I’m looking for is something that occupies a single USB port and offers 3+ slots for SD and/or microSD cards, letting me browse them all from my computer. Are there any such products? I’m ok with buying off Aliexpress

    One solution I’ve seen is using a bunch of those USB adapters and a powered multi-USB hub.

    Cheaper than StarTech.com 4-Slot SD Card Reader - USB 3.1 (10Gbps) SD Card Reader - USB-C SD Card Reader w/Support for SD 4.0, UHS-II (4SD4FCRU31C)

      That’s a single slot card reader, I need something with more slots for (micro)sd cards, like a single usb stick with 4 slots for microSD cards, mounting all of them at once

        The second link had 4 slots, but do you mean 4 slots of the same exact type?

          Yes. I already have one of those multi-type/universal card readers. That is not what I’m looking for. I need something with several identical slots, either for SD or microSD cards

    I’m surprised how few options there are out there. I tried looking using the keywords “hub”," “dock”, and even " duplicator" but couldn’t find anything. Hopefully you don’t need to resort to getting a USB hub then just using USB adapters
