SD Memory Card Formatter 5.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC

The SD Memory Card Formatter formats SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card 
and SDXC Memory Card (respectively SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards) complying with 
the SD File System Specification created by the SD Association (SDA).


It is strongly recommended to use the SD Memory Card Formatter to 
format SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards rather than using formatting tools provided 
with individual operating systems. In general, formatting tools 
provided with operating systems can format various storage media 
including SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards, but it may not be optimized for 
SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards and it may result in lower performance.


SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards have a “Protected Area” for SD Card security 
purposes. The SD Memory Card Formatter does not format the protected 
area in the SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards. The protected area shall be formatted 
by an appropriate PC application or SD host devices that provide SD 
security function.


The SD Memory Card Formatter doesn't support SD/SDHC/SDXC Card 
encrypted by the “BitLocker To Go" functionality of Windows. Please 
format the SD/SDHC/SDXC Card after it has been unlocked.
