Hama USB 3.0 UHS-II SD Card Reader

Introduction

Hama manufactures and distributes computer, photo, video and audio equipment and accessories. The company is based in Germany and primarily sells products throughout Europe. The Hama USB 3.0 UHS-II SD Card Reader (Item number 124024 and GTIN 4047443257789) is a portable single-slot SD card reader that supports UHS-II and UHS-I Secure Digital cards.

The Hama reader has an extruded aluminum housing with clear plastic ends. The reader body measures about 1 1/4-inches by 2 1/4-inches by 3/8-inch thick (32mm x 57mm x 10mm) including the USB connector. The Type-A male USB connector is extended from the reader about 3/8-inch (10mm) which helps it clear adjacent USB devices. The metal case is durable and includes a clear plastic end cap to cover the USB connector. When inserting SD cards in the slot there is a precise fit. The reader has a bright blue LED indicator that shines through the USB port end of the reader. The light turns on when an SD card is inserted and flashes while the card is bring accessed.

Performance

In benchmark tests the Hama USB 3.0 reader measured up to 263.4 MB/s sequential read speed. Sequential write benchmarks reached 240.3 MB/s. UHS-I speeds were up to 99.6 MB/s read and 90.9 MB/s write.

The Hama reader has no microSD slot, so microSD cards were used with a microSD to SD adapter. All UHS-II microSD cards were tested with UHS-II compatible adapter.
