Some even report it gets unusally hot when writing big files. This is caused by Windows as it totally ignores how the manufacturer designed the drive - remember special low level format tools? A dedicated and proper tool for the job will check the type of memory either directly or by checking the controller of the flash memory. After that all memory blocks will be sorted and addressed the way they were designed. If you like your data and flash memory you should never format with Windows on board tools. Instead for USB flash drives I strongly recommend the HP USB Storage Format tool. For SD card the only tool to use is the SD formatter from SDCARD.ORG.

They define the standards for SD cards, so you can trust they know how to treat your SD card properly. Under ' Device' you select the stick you would like to format. 'File system' can be changed between FAT32 and NTFS - both work fine and I recommend NTFS if you only use it in Windows. ' Volume Label' can be used to enter a name for your stick to be shown in Windows explorer (or any other).
