SDHC
(Secure Digital High-Capacity) is a new Flash
memory card based on the SDA (Secure Digital
Association) 2.00 specification. SDHC provides
removable memory storage for compatible digital
devices, including cameras, camcorders, PDAs, MP3
players and more.

players and more.
The increasing use of high-definition video and
high-resolution digital photography demands higher
storage capacity and more demanding data transfer
rates. Because of this, the new SDHC cards guarantee
a minimum sustained data transfer speed, not a
maximum speed. There are three available speeds
— Class 2, Class 4 and Class 6.

SDHC vs. SD Card Compatibility
The previous versions of SDA specifications did not
provide such common standards for sustained data
transfer speeds to be shared by all manufacturers.
The new speed classification approach allows users
to select card performance based on the needs of
particular applications, such as HD video, and other
MPEG applications, rather than just a maximum
speed rating.

SDHC cards use the same physical format as SD cards
but cannot be used with SD host devices that do not

Current SD cards complying with Version 1.01
and Version 1.10 use either the FAT12 or FAT16
file system, whereas Version 2.00 uses FAT32.
This latest specification was established to support
SDHC card applications with higher capacity needs.
If the approved SDHC logo appears on the card
or package, the product is compliant with SDA

Memory Card’s most distinguishing features, making
it an ideal solution for digital content distribution.
