As we know, SD (Secure Digital) card is the most widely used storage device on digital machines like digital camera and personal digital assistant, due to its huge capacity and high security. Nowadays we can even find a SD card larger than 100GB. Therefore, many people plan to upgrade their old card to larger one. Well then, how to transfer all files from old SD card to new card?
In many users’ eyes, copying and pasting is the only way to transfer files, so they cost a lot of time to do the transferring. Actually, if there are more than 10GB files to move, users had better clone the old SD card to new SD card, because all files will be copied at the same time and much time can be saved.
To do such a clone, users need to download a free drive clone program from the internet since Windows does not provide a good solution. However, if you do not know which one is available, try using MiniTool Drive Copy, which is free and works perfectly on Windows non servers.
