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. Still, it may not be optimized for SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards, resulting in lower performance. SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards have a “Protected Area” for SD Card security purposes.
It 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.
