The SD Association defines standard speed classes for SDHC/SDXC cards indicating minimum performance (minimum serial data writing speed). Both read and write speeds must exceed the specified value. The specification defines these classes in terms of performance curves that translate into the following minimum.

I'll be receiving a GPS programs and maps on an SD card soon and would like to clone the card for backup. The software is locked to the serial number of the SD card, so just backing up the data isn't enough. I suspect it is impossible to clone the card completely, including serial number, but thought I'd ask if anyone has investigated this and found a solution. I believe one can change the Volume ID of hard drives and imagine something similar being possible for SD cards. I appreciate that unscrupulous people might clone such cards and sell copies, and I certainly don't want to facilitate that behaviour through this thread. Chuck Muer Friends Programme. Given that the program and data on the card in question cost me $183 CAD, I do feel rather vulnerable, even if I can backup the contents of the card excluding the serial number.

I have had SD cards become totally unreadable and unformatable and would like to be prepared should it happen with this one. Only freeware, please. Thanks, Larry ┊ 16:17. >I'll be receiving a GPS programs and maps on an SD card soon and would >like to clone the card for backup. Let me guess: is it TomTom by any chance? Even if you get a TT unit with a hard drive, there is no backup on CD/DVD or anything. You have to make a complete backup *first* before using it incase you mess anything up.

I think it is terrible that you can pay a lot of money and if you are not aware and screw something up, you would think the backup (map) is on the CD - wrong! Hope you find a solution and I know your predicament.you *do* need that backup because cards fail.

This will appear as a binary pair looking like this: 0a33:fa15 (fictitious, of course) This is called the volume no. Or Volume Serial Number. (VSN) Understand we are not talking about the drive Label name.

That is different. There are several proggies that will enable a user to recode any particular drive, SD card, thumbdrive, etc. Using any combination of valid binary digits like the above. I always delighted in re-volume-setting my various SD cards with C0DE:FEED (That 0 is zero) Look for a DOS program called SETVOLNO.EXE, 1992 Micrological Designs Lord Possum 18:24.

I haven't studied the file structure of SD cards yet, so am totally ignorant of their structure and nomenclature. I'll try the program you recommend with a spare SD card and see how it goes. Should receive my OCN6 card in a week and will make a backup using a media reader and the desktop before inserting it into the PDA.

Hopefully, the autostart inf won't screw things up doing that. I know the program installs itself upon the card being inserted into the PDA. Probably generates an encrypted key at that point, too.

Thanks again for your helpfulness. Cheers, Larry blackivo.@gmail.com 10:16.

Updated The Datacard XPS Card Printer Driver uses Microsoft XPS print technology to support card production using an SD160, SD260, SD260L, SD360, SD460, CD800, CD810, CD820, CE840 and CR805 systems. The following operating Systems (latest service pack recommended) are supported with the XPS Card Printer Driver v7.3: • Windows 10, 32 and 64-bit • Windows 8.1, 32 and 64-bit • Windows 7 SP1, 32 and 64-bit • Windows 2012 R2 Server, 64-bit • Windows 2008 R2 Server, 64-bit Note: Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 R2 are not supported by the Card Printer Driver and cannot be installed on these operating systems. Documentation describing the installation and use of the printer and driver can be downloaded from the Documentation tab above.

A readme file is included with this download which describes the new features and fixes. Updated: In order to run new Holographic DuraShield ™ (full card and smart card) and Clear DuraShield™ (smart card only), laminating units with a serial numbers below JS10585 for SD460 and KS10889 for CD800 CLM will need to run this utility to update their supply settings.

Theatre Of War 2 Key Licence. Contents of this file include: • LaminatorSupplies_v12_2014.288.exe is the Supply Settings Update Utility.1 • 527611-001A_SLM-CLM_LaminatorSuppliesDatabaseUpdate.PDF is instructions on how to use the Supply Settings Update Utility. Updated The Software Development Kit provides codes samples and documentation to software developers for developing Microsoft Windows applications that work with SD, CD, CE and CR series card printers and the version 7.3 XPS card printer driver. Samples are provided as source code and compiled binaries for Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic, and java.

Developers who need application control of printing preferences, application control of card movement, or require data from the card must use the SDK. NOTE: The v7.3 SDK requires XPS Card Printer Driver v7.3 or later.
