Philip Houska If you are looking for a quick way to drag photos and videos from your SD card to the new iPad Pro, one of the great options is the new Lightning reader directly from Apple, which will transfer your content at USB 3.0 speed. This is significantly faster than USB 2.0, on which all current Lightning cables and adapters are based. It's also the only option so far that supports USB 3.0 speeds.
The reader works on a simple principle. All you have to do is insert an SD card into it, connect it to the iPad using the Lightning connector, and the Photos application will automatically appear, which will organize all your photos into Moments, Collections and Years in no time.
Apple already had this Lightning SD card reader in its offer, but now it has added support for USB 3.0, which is a standard that only the latest iPad Pro can use from its iOS products. The camera's SD card reader handles standard photo formats (JPEG, RAW) as well as videos in standard and high definition (H.264, MPEG-4).
As the analysis showed earlier iFixit, iPad Pro gained a high-speed Lightning port, so introducing an improved reader makes sense. The speed of USB 3.0 is significantly higher (the theoretical limit is around 640 MB per second, USB 2.0 can only handle 60 MB per second), so working with data and transferring it is much more convenient.
In the United States, this Lightning reader can be purchased for less than $30 and in our region is available for 899 CZK. It will arrive at your home within 3-5 days if you order from the official store.
