UMLIFE Micro SD SDHC TF Card Adapter Reader Module with SPI Interface Level Conversion Chip Compatible with Arduino Raspberry PI 10pcs

This product works with the esp32c3 and esp32s3 super mini. I had no issues with connecting this SPI device to the micro controller logging data from an atgm336 gps unit. Previously I attempted to use a prevous priduct from another vendor that did not work, it was rated for 5v. The esp32 is 3.3v and this product is rated for 3.3 volts only. The price is right the quaility is good. Note the micro sd card is not held in place with a latch, it is used by friction. It's not like other where you can push on it to remove the card, other than that i works flawless. I am using this card with a tft spi device and there are no issues with performace and conflicts.

So far, so good. Inexpensive way of adding file storage to a microcontroller. I've used with ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico.

The board works and all is well, but BEWARE: The description is wrong, or misleading to the least. This particular offering (as seen in their pictures) is a straight micro SD card interface. Because regular MicroSD cards do not tolerate more than about 3.6V, do not feed or connect the SD card contacts to 5V signals. Please go by the pictures and people feedback. As the pictures show, it does not have any 5V to 3V regulator or voltage translator for any signals. This board is to connect to a system that is already 3V, with 3V supply and 3V signals. As always, Amazon may bundle product reviews together, so this review may end up showing up for a board that maybe does include a regulator, level translator, etc. My advise is to ALWAYS use your judgment, common sense, and intuition. As for details, it can all be inferred by the pictures, but in any case: - Card insertion: The socket used is not the smallest footprint version out there (but it's the most versatile!). I bet we would love the socket type that solders under it, so the card can go all the way in, but that is not this version of the board. This version uses a simpler socket where the soldering pads are on the side of the part (easy to de-solder, tap into contacts, etc.). The side effect of it is that the card does not insert all the way into the socket. When used, a memory is going to look like it's sticking half way out, making you feel or think that maybe it is not all the way in. There is nothing wrong with the socket, this is the way it is. There are many socket designs out there, and this is just one of them. - Insertion detection: As seen in the pictures, there are no eyelets for soldering anything other than power and SPI . Thanks to the cheaper socket used, someone skilled in soldering wire-wrap wires can easily tap onto the socket pads and implement card detection if desired (So nice!) Why oh-why the description is different from the product? I'm not the one to answer that, and I have to accept that I don't matter in their world, but also that, some times vendors may not be paying attention to the version of the boards they are (re)selling, or they refresh/consolidate the photos or description from another SKU, etc. and the description and photos do not match anymore. In this particular case, the product was matching the pictures when I made the purchase, and I'm personally so grateful for that! Note: At the time I wrote this review, Amazon was showing a video of a related product together with this one. What would you know! the video shows clearly a slightly larger form factor board with what I bet are the regulator and level shifter ICs in it (that this board does not have). Talk about confusing some shoppers. Let's not be just shoppers, lets be hackers. Lets do our homework twice, to save time, headaches, and bad vibes. Overall, I love this board. The more I tinker with it, the more I like it. Hope this helps,

These don't have the regulator, so should be only used with 3.3v controllers. Socket has the "card-installed" switch, but not brought out to pins.

Simple, well made, comes with stake pins so that it was easily added to my design. Worked as advertised. This is the SPI connected uSD card socket, so not the quad SPI and that was exactly what I needed. The mechanism is simple, though. You just push in the uSD card and pull it out. It isn't a push-in, push-out type - just FYI.

Works just like it should

Be honest with yourself and just know that all you receive is not going to be all that function. At this price, what else can you expect. I buy another 10 when my stock gets to 5. They're cheap and SIMPLE to test for function before you solder into a project.

Worked well in my circuit application interface to a Raspberry Pi Pico
