SDHC Card Data Recovery

How to Recover Lost Photos, Videos or Files from SDHC Card?

It is tough to lose files that you value from your SDHC card, right? Well, there is a way to turn that around, by recovering the deleted picture, videos, and other files from your SDHC card! Well, most people would think this is "mission impossible", but that is just a common misunderstanding. No matter you are using the SDHC card from SanDisk, Kingston, Transcend, Lexar or other brands, or of the capacity is 4G, 8G, 16G or 32G, the mechanism of SDHC card is the same. Here, this article will tell you a thing or two you need to know about SDHC data recovery.

SDHC card is the short term of Secure Digital High Capacity card, which you can tell from its name, has a capacity varies from 2GB to 32 GB (the SD cards with even higher capacity is called SDXC card). It differs from regular SD cards in that it normally has a bigger capacity, and speed class from 2 to 10 with class 10 being the fastest. Due to SDHC cards' high photo capacity and its fast I/O speed, they are very popular among photographers. Different as it might be, SDHC card is still a storage device, and the data loss is bound to happen. Whether it is because you accidentally deleted the file or format the card, it doesn't matter, for we can retrieve the lost photos, videos, documents and other files from it, for sure. Why would that be possible? Let me explain. SDHC card, just like other memory cards, doesn't really remove the files you delete from your card. They are just been removed from visibility, so the space of the files could be overwrote. Sadly most people didn't know this fact, which made them into thinking it is impossible to recover files.

Since we need to recover files from the SDHC card, the first thing to do is stop using it, which means not to write anything to it, until all your files are back. Then, we need a data recovery tool. I recommend Card Data Recovery, a very easy to use but yet powerful tool that will scan your card and recover all the files you choose in seconds with ease. And it also works on formatted and corrupted SDHC cards. So follow the guide below, and begin our data recovery for SDHC card.

Tip: Troubleshooting camera-not-recognize-SDHC problem

If it ever happens to you that your camera doesn't recognize your SDHC card, it could be caused by:

• 1. The brand of your card is compatible with your camera. You can visit the website of your memory card to look for a list of compatible products.
• 2. Or, you may have an older camera that uses different file system. You can verify this by checking the website of your camera and see if there are any firmware updates available.
• 3. If you have determined that your card and camera are compatible, you might need to format the card. Be aware, only format the card on your camera, thus your camera could read the SDHC card.

If you want to recover the formatted files on your SDHC card, Card Data Recovery is just what you need.
