Hello and thanks,
I have an HP Laptop 15 PC-dy2000 with an Alcorlink USB 2.0 card reader.
What is the fastest SD card (UHS-|, UHS-||) that can be used with that card reader please?
I mean, can I use UHS-| or UHS-|| SD cards, or does the USB 2.0 card reader dictate and limit the SD card's applicable transfer capacity?
USB 2.0 has transfer limits of about 57 MB/s, so can I, for example, use the Lexar Pro 1667x SDXC USS-|| card (that has transfer rates around 250 MB/s)?

I found this in my research:
[Content Removed]"When connecting devices with different USB versions, the data transfer rate will be limited by the slowest of the connected devices."
So I have to work with an SD card that's slower.
