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
I’m surprised how few options there are out there. I tried looking using the keywords “hub”," “dock”, and even " duplicator" but couldn’t find anything. Hopefully you don’t need to resort to getting a USB hub then just using USB adapters

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
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:

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