SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD\/SDHC\/SDXC standards.<\/strong> It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The SD\/SDHC\/SDXC memory cards have a \"Protected Area\" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the \"Protected Area\". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the \"Protected Area\" in the memory card.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Q: How to speed up your Pen Drive up to 30% on Windows<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A: Format with NTFS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This will speed up data transfer by up to 30%.
