SD card reader for use with Samsung Note 9

I'm not sure whether this belongs in the open forum or the mobile photography forum, although it's not strictly speaking about mobile photography.

My goal is to transfer photos from SD quickly to my Note 9.

I have a cheap SD card reader that I bought on eBay - I connect the USB A connector into a Samsung USB C adapter and then into my phone. This combination works ok, but I'm just wondering whether getting a better SD card reader would give me better speeds? I believe the fastest transfer rate I can get with the Note 9 is 480Mbps unless I'm mistaken? I haven't measured what I'm getting now but I don't imagine it's that quick.

I'm looking at this one which would mean I don't need the adapter - it's also cheap but at least it's a brand I've heard of;

Any recommendations?
