Overview
Buffalo, a leading tech company headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is poised to introduce its latest innovation, the BSCRM100U3C series, a USB Type-C card reader that simplifies the process of accessing microSD cards directly from various devices. Set for release in late October 2025, this card reader not only promises performance but also convenience for users across different platforms.
Features
The BSCRM100U3C series supports USB Type-C connections, making it compatible with a wide range of devices, including Windows PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets. This versatile card reader/writer leverages USB 3.2 (Gen 1) technology, enabling lightning-fast data transfers at theoretical speeds of up to 5Gbps. This high-speed data transfer capability makes it ideal for users looking to quickly manage and backup their important files.
Additionally, the card reader is designed to work seamlessly with a free application called "Photo Backup," which allows users to easily back up their images and videos stored on their smartphones to external USB storage. The app features a user-friendly interface, making it accessible for first-time users who want to keep their memories safe.
Smart and User-Friendly Design
One of the standout features of the BSCRM100U3C series is its unique design that accommodates thicker smartphone cases. This patented design ensures that users can connect the card reader without the hassle of removing their phone case. This problem-solving design promotes ease of use and enhances user experience, as it minimizes interruptions when transferring data.
The product also includes a rotating cap to prevent loss, further emphasizing its practicality. Compact in size, the stick-type design includes a strap hole, making it easy to carry around for on-the-go use.
Compatibility and Backup Application
The card reader works with microSD cards, which means users will need to purchase these separately. A variety of compatible Buffalo products can be found on their website. The Photo Backup app, designed specifically for this card reader, has proven popular, reaching over 100,000 downloads on iOS within just four months. This emphasizes the need for reliable backup solutions in today’s fast-paced digital environment.
The application is designed to automatically back up photos and videos the first time it is connected to the USB storage. Subsequent backups will only detect newly added files, making the process efficient and user-friendly. This feature is especially beneficial for users who change devices frequently, as the app allows multiple devices to back up to a single USB storage.
Conclusion
Buffalo's BSCRM100U3C series card reader is set to redefine how users interact with their digital media. With its focus on speed, user-friendly design, and convenient data management, this card reader aims to meet the demands of modern users.
