It's the Kingston FCR-HS4 !
It does UHS-II, have all slots, and is fast :
(2,7 GB, 2,5 GiB) copied, 38,5826 s, 69,6 MB/s with a 95MB/s card.
I'm happy !

My previous one was the white SanDisk ImageMate SDDR-289 which never worked well, corrupted FS, had low speed, didn't work on some PC etc.
 
Nice - good find. Is it shiny plastic or aluminum?

I have had very good luck with this one.
Code:

I don't user anything but SD and microSD and occasionally it is useful to go SD-SD and microSD-SD. Being able to do multiple SD and microSD cards at once without needing adapters has been nice.
 
Shiny plastic. The red blinking logo is a bit hype but it's ok overall.
 
Use it with this 1TB SD-Card

Sure - send me a couple of them and I'll put them in my reader... or even better..

Although it has 4 slots, the sd and microSD in each end are electrically paired - so only 2 cards at a time per USB port.

Send me 6 of those 1TB cards and my Pyra and I'll plug my 2 readers into the back of it and have a 6TB Pyra.
 
I have this one, it doesn't read as many card types but I get 85-90 MB/s on my cards. I think this is the 4th one I bought. I liked Anker's USB chargers so much I gave it a try. I'm glad I did because it woks in Linux which I was mainly worried about. The LED on it is blinding though, I have no idea who thinks LEDs need to be so bright.
