What is SDHC?

To support the higher capacity needs, SD cards are now requiring a different design. The new SD 2.0 specifications which supports 4GB and up, is called Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC). The SD Association has created and defined 3 speed classes to help you identify speed and performance capabilities/minimum requirements of SDHC cards and their SDHC host products.

Cards address data (read and write) at numerous speeds. Many factors impede this performance. SDHC guarantees a minimum read and write speed necessary to handle recording high quality video and audio. The maximum card speed may vary, but you can always depend on SDHC cards to meet your SDHC host product's high quality performance requirements.

SDHC Compatibility Information

Because SDHC works differently (supports the new higher capacity cards) this new card format is not backwards compatible with legacy SD format host devices.

Customer Reviews

Love it !
I love this memory card, I also love the little card reader included with it. I just plug into the side of my Mac keyboard and I am good to go !!!

Very good deal
Very good price for a SDHC III card of this size especially since it comes with the usb adpater to offload pictures. Really helps battery life of your camera since it doesn't have to be on to transfer the pics to your comp.

Memory card review
I like the feature that makes this memory card so easy to transfer materials from the camera to the computer without me having to buy another item.
