I know there are several USB hub dongles that could be used in a similar manner, but what I'm looking for is something that occupies a single USB port and offers 3+ slots for SD and/or microSD cards, letting me browse them all from my computer. Are there any such products? I'm ok with buying off Aliexpress

One solution I’ve seen is using a bunch of those USB adapters and a powered multi-USB hub.

I found one on amazon that reads 4 cards at once. It's rather expensive, but it supports UHS-II SD cards.

That's a single slot card reader, I need something with more slots for (micro)sd cards, like a single usb stick with 4 slots for microSD cards, mounting all of them at once

The second link had 4 slots, but do you mean 4 slots of the same exact type?

Yes. I already have one of those multi-type/universal card readers. That is not what I'm looking for. I need something with several identical slots, either for SD or microSD cards

What is your end goal? There are for example raid „cards“ where you can plug in multiple SD cards and have it connect to SATA, like these: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuUelXX
