Compact 8-in-1 Card Reader

This Hetai Tech reader accepts eight card formats including SD, MMC, RS-MMC, SDHC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, Memory Stick Micro, Micro SD, and Micro SDHC. Mini SD and Mini SDHC cards require a separate adapter that is not supplied. It suits photographers and mobile users who need a single portable device for legacy and current media.

Driver-free USB 2.0 installation

The reader connects through a standard USB 2.0 port and draws power from the bus so no external supply is needed. Hot-plug support means cards can be inserted or removed while the system is running. Driver-less operation is confirmed for Windows 98SE through Windows 7 and Mac OS 9.0 or later; newer operating systems may require generic mass-storage drivers.

480 Mb/s maximum transfer rate

The USB 2.0 interface limits sustained throughput to 480 Mb/s, which determines how quickly large image or video files move from card to computer. Buyers working with high-capacity UHS-I or UHS-II cards should expect the reader to become the bottleneck and may prefer a USB 3.0 or faster alternative.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the card reader is operating correctly after plugging it into a USB 2.0 port?

Connect the reader to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port; the operating system (Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS 9.0+) will recognise it without drivers, then insert a supported card — Micro SD, Memory Stick Pro Duo, SDHC or others listed — and verify the drive appears and files transfer at up to 480 Mb/s.

What comes in the package and what must I supply myself?

The box contains one 8-in-1 card reader (about 52 x 18 x 10 mm, metal shell); memory cards are not included, and Mini SD or Mini SDHC cards require a separate adapter which is also not supplied.

Which version should I choose if I mainly use Micro SDHC and Memory Stick Pro Duo cards?

This single 8-in-1 model reads both Micro SDHC and Memory Stick Pro Duo directly, plus SD, MMC, RS-MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Micro (M2) and T-Flash/Micro SD, so no other variant is needed for those formats.
