Hama 6-in-1 reader, USB 3.0, two slots, SD and microSD families, card-to-card exchange, LED

A pocket reader whose title counts six and whose bullets count two, with an LED, a direct plug and a card-to-card copy function — and not one speed figure on the page.

Host interface standard
USB 3.0 — stated in the title, with the third bullet adding support for USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. The fourth bullet gives the operating systems: Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, or Mac OS 9.x and later
Stated link rate
Not published on the listing — no figure in gigabits per second and none in megabytes per second appears anywhere in the title or the five bullets. It is the only reader on this shelf with no rate of any kind
Connector type
Not published on the listing — the second and third bullets both name a direct USB connection requiring no cable, and neither says whether the plug is Type-A or Type-C
Internal or external form
External — a compact body with the USB plug built into it, described in the first bullet as small and ideal to carry
Slot count
Two — stated in the second and third bullets, both of which call it a 2-slot solution. The title calls the reader 6-in-1, and the six is the number of card formats named rather than the number of slots. The listing prints both figures and never says which is which
Formats accepted
SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC — the six named in the second bullet, which is where the 6-in-1 of the title comes from. No CF, MS or XD format is claimed
Simultaneous slot access
Stated indirectly — the third bullet says the reader allows data to be exchanged directly from one memory card to another, which is an operation that needs both slots live at the same time. The words “simultaneous access” are not used
Stated protocol support
Not published on the listing — no UHS-I and no UHS-II mode is named, and no SD version number is quoted
Cable arrangement
No cable — stated twice, in the second and third bullets, both of which name the direct USB connection as the reason no lead is needed. No length is given because there is nothing to measure

  • An LED that reports the connection state, which three readers on this shelf never mention
  • Card-to-card copying named as a function rather than left to be discovered
  • No transfer figure at all, in any unit

Best for: A camera bag or a laptop sleeve where the reader has to be small enough to forget about, and where moving a folder from a full SD card onto a microSD is the actual job.

On the listing

A multi-card reader for reading and writing all the common memory cards, small and compact and described as ideal to take with you; reading of SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC, an LED indicator reporting the connection status, and a 2-slot solution with a direct USB connection needing no cable; direct data exchange from one memory card to another, again on a 2-slot solution with a direct USB connection, supporting USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1; operating systems given as Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, or Mac OS 9.x and later; and a box holding one Hama 6-in-1 multi-card reader.

Six in the title, two in the bullets

The two numbers count different things, and the page never says so.

The title calls it 6-in-1. The second and third bullets both call it a 2-slot solution. Six is the number of card formats listed — SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC — and those six are two physical card shapes with three capacity tiers each.

Nothing here is untrue. But a buyer counting slots off the title would expect six holes in the body and find two, and no line on the page closes that gap.

Read as a two-slot SD and microSD reader, which is what it is, the specification is coherent: one slot per card shape, every capacity tier of each accepted.

No number, anywhere

This is the only listing on the shelf with no transfer figure at all.

No gigabits. No megabytes a second. The third bullet names three USB generations the reader works with — 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 — and stops.

That absence is worth stating rather than glossing. On this shelf the published figures run from 160 MB/s down to nothing, and the ones that are published come with their own qualifications about the card and the port. A page with no figure at least cannot mislead about one, but it also leaves the buyer with the generation as the only guide, and a generation is a ceiling rather than a rate.

The LED, and what it is for

The second bullet names a status light reporting the connection state.

Three of the seven readers in this hub name an indicator of some kind; the others say nothing. It is a small feature with one specific use: knowing whether a card is being written to before pulling it out. A card removed mid-write is the commonest way to lose a folder of photographs, and a light is the only outward sign that anything is happening.

Card to card, with no computer in the middle

The third bullet names the function that justifies the two slots: data exchanged directly from one memory card to another.

That requires both slots to be live together, and it is the practical shape of the job this reader is built around. A full camera card, a microSD going into something else, and a copy straight across without staging it on a laptop.

It is also the one place where the page addresses simultaneous access, though it never uses the phrase. The function is named; the capability behind it is left implied.

What the page does not name

No connector shape — the plug is described as direct and cable-free, and never as Type-A or Type-C. No UHS mode, so the bus behaviour with a fast SDXC card is unstated. No dimensions, on a body sold on being small.

The operating system list in the fourth bullet is the other clue to the age of the description: Windows XP and Mac OS 9.x are named alongside Windows 10.

Before ordering

Count the slots as two, not six. Expect the older bus mode on a fast card, since no UHS mode is claimed. And check the plug shape with the seller if the reader is meant for anything other than a standard desktop socket, because the page describes the plug only by what it does not need.

Availability

Priced from 9 € to 14 € across the German, French and Spanish Amazon stores the day this page was checked.

It is stocked on the American and British Amazon stores as well, in that country’s own currency. The range above leaves those out: it counts euro stores and no others.

The Italian Amazon price runs past 1.6× the cheapest store. A gap that size normally marks a reshipper and not a seller in the country, so that listing stays out of the range above.
