Before inserting your SD memory card, confirm the device is compatible with the SD standard by locating an SD logo and other symbols on the device or referring to the device’s user manual or manufacturer information. Interoperability of host devices and cards are shown below.

-SDUC memory cards must only be used with SDUC Host Devices.
-SDXC memory cards can be used with SDXC devices and SDUC Host Devices.
-SDHC memory cards can be used with SDHC devices, SDXC devices and SDUC Host Devices.
-SD memory cards can be used with SD devices, SDHC devices, SDXC devices and SDUC Host Devices.

-SDUC Host Devices can use SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, SDXC memory cards and SDUC memory cards.
-SDXC Host Devices can use SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards.
-SDHC Host Devices can use both SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards.
-SD Host Devices can only use SD memory cards.

The SD Memory Card Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. 

It is strongly recommended to use the SD Memory Card 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.
