15-in-1 Internal Card Reader

The HEISEI HRU-211P3 fits a standard 3.5" drive bay and provides four slots covering fifteen legacy and current card formats. It connects via an internal USB 2.0 header and includes beige and black bezels to match your case front panel. The unit draws power directly from the bus so no extra cables are required.

Replacing a Floppy Drive

This reader adds a DOS-bootable function that lets it stand in for a legacy floppy disk drive during system installation or recovery. The upgrade is worth it when you still handle CompactFlash, SmartMedia, Memory Stick or early SD cards but your motherboard lacks a native reader. It also consolidates multiple external dongles into a single internal device.

Build Integration

Mount the reader in any free 3.5" bay and connect it to a spare USB 2.0 header on the motherboard. Four slots operate simultaneously so you can move data between different card types without swapping media. Compatible with Windows 98 through XP, Mac OS 8.6 or higher and Linux kernel 2.4 or higher.

Questions about this item

Will the HRU-211P3 fit a standard 3.5" drive bay in my case?

Yes, it is designed to mount directly into a 3.5" drive bay and measures 100 x 120 x 25.4mm. Both beige and black bezels are included for a colour match.

Which internal header does the USB 2.0 interface connect to on the motherboard?

Connect the supplied cable to a spare USB 2.0 header on the motherboard; the unit is bus-powered so no extra power connector is needed.

Can I still read older SmartMedia or CompactFlash cards years from now?

The reader natively supports SmartMedia, CompactFlash I/II and the other listed formats, so legacy cards remain readable as long as the USB 2.0 header is available.
