Meet the Kingston Workflow Station + SD Reader, the all-in-one solution engineered to accelerate your post-production workflow. This professional-grade USB-C hub combines a high-performance SD card reader with a versatile multi-port hub, enabling carefree transfer of video, photo, and audio files from memory cards to your editing suite, external drives, or network storage. Built for creators who demand reliability, speed, and simplicity, this compact station keeps your creative process flowing—from capture to delivery. Whether you’re a freelance editor, a photographer on assignment, or a content creator managing multi-camera shoots, Kingston’s workflow station simplifies media ingestion, file management, and asset backup with a single, organized device.

• Streamlined post-production workflow: The Kingston Workflow Station + SD Reader is designed to streamline every step of media ingestion, transfer, and organization. Import from SD/SDHC/SDXC cards directly into your editing workspace, duplicate takes for backups, and move large media bundles quickly to your internal SSD or external storage. This single hub eliminates the need to swap cables and devices, so you can focus on editing, grading, or retouching rather than juggling multiple tools. The result is faster dailies, smoother proxies, and quicker approvals, all tailored for high-pressure production environments.
• Broad card compatibility and reliable transfers: With support for standard SD cards and high-capacity SDXC formats (plus microSD via adapter), you gain flexible access to a wide range of media sources. The reader is built to deliver dependable performance across card types, so you won’t miss shots due to compatibility hiccups. Expect consistent transfer behavior that preserves media integrity, helping you avoid error messages, corrupted files, or reformatting hassles during busy shooting blocks or studio sessions.
• Integrated USB hub for multi-device connections: Beyond the card reader, the station includes multiple USB ports to connect external drives, cameras, keyboards, or other peripherals. This all-in-one setup reduces desk clutter and makes it easier to run from shoot to edit—simultaneously ingesting footage while backing up projects or mounting reference drives. The hub design supports efficient parallel transfers, so you can seed your edit drive, export a rough cut to a review drive, and keep a fast access workspace ready for the next shot.
• Durable, portable design built for professionals: Constructed with a sturdy chassis and a compact footprint, the Kingston Workflow Station is ready for studio benches, editing bays, or field shoots. Its durable build, low-profile form factor, and quiet operation help protect your media while you work, travel, or shoot on location. The lightweight design fits easily inside a gear bag, making it an ideal companion for on-site transfers, quick backups, and fast ingest in any environment.
• Cross-platform compatibility and user-friendly experience: This station is designed to work seamlessly with Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, supporting a broad array of post-production software and media workflows. It offers a plug-and-play experience with minimal setup, so you can integrate it into your current toolkit without complicated drivers or software installations.
