8-in-1 Multi-Card Reader

The Hetai Tech C385 reads eight legacy and current memory-card formats including SD, SDHC, Micro SD, CompactFlash and Memory Stick variants through a single USB 3.0 connection. It targets photographers and technicians who still work with mixed media and need one compact adapter instead of several dedicated readers. No external power supply is required.

USB 3.0 Interface Limits

The device connects via a USB 3.0 port but the supplied notes also reference a high-speed USB 2.0 interface, so actual throughput will be bounded by the slower of the host controller and the inserted card. Cards larger than the host operating system can address will not be fully usable regardless of the reader’s “unlimited capacity” claim.

Replaces Multiple Single-Slot Adapters

This unit consolidates four separate card slots into one housing, removing the need to carry individual adapters for SD, Micro SD, Memory Stick and CompactFlash media. The upgrade is worthwhile when a workflow regularly switches between those formats; users who only ever read one card type gain no advantage over a simpler single-slot dongle.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the C385 or the C368 model?

The product is labelled C385 on the box and C368 in the description; they refer to the same 8-in-1 reader, so choose the one listed on the order page.

What real-world transfer speed will I see from the USB 3.0 port?

The reader uses a USB 2.0 interface internally, so speeds are limited to USB 2.0 rates even when plugged into a USB 3.0 port.

Does the USB 3.0 connector deliver USB 3.0 performance?

No, the device communicates over USB 2.0, so the 3.0 connector only provides physical compatibility, not the higher bandwidth.
