8-in-1 Internal Card Reader Hub

The Hetai Tech 8-in-1 Internal Card Reader Hub installs into a standard front-panel bay to give desktop builders direct access to multiple memory-card formats. It accepts SD, CF, TF, SDHC, MMC, SDXC and MD cards through a single internal device. The unit connects to the motherboard using USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and eSATA interfaces for data transfer. Its ABS chassis measures approximately 14.7 cm by 7.7 cm by 4 cm.

Replaces separate external readers

This hub consolidates several standalone card readers into one internal slot, freeing USB ports and reducing cable clutter on the desk. The upgrade is worthwhile when a workstation regularly ingests footage or photos from multiple card types and the builder wants a permanent, front-mounted solution. It does not suit users who only need occasional single-format reads or who lack an available 5.25-inch drive bay.

Fits a front-panel build

Mounting requires a standard front-panel opening and internal USB 3.0, USB 3.1 or eSATA headers on the motherboard. The reader draws power from the connected headers, so no extra power cables are needed. It leaves expansion slots and drive bays untouched, preserving space for graphics cards and storage drives. Builders without front-panel headers or an open bay cannot use this device.

Questions about this item

Does the 14.7 cm wide front panel fit a standard 5.25 inch drive bay?

The panel measures 14.7 cm by 7.7 cm by 4 cm, matching the width of a standard 5.25 inch bay, and mounts internally with screws.

Which cable do I connect first when installing the internal card reader?

Plug the USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 header into the motherboard, then attach the eSATA cable if your board has a port; the common mistake is leaving the eSATA lead loose.

How do I clean the card slots on this reader after extended use?

Use a short burst of compressed air to clear dust from the SD, CF, TF, SDHC, MMC, SDXC and MD slots; the ABS frame does not require lubrication.
