The advanced and improved form of SD cards is the SDHC (SD high capacity).The file system of SD card format is FAT-16. In order to further elevate the storage capacity beyond 2 Gigabytes, the file system of SDHC card format was changed to FAT-32. Data can be read from the SD memory cards by both SDHC and SD reader.
