Want to upgrade SD card to a new one

SD card is widely used in game machine, mobile phone, or other portable devices. Users use SD card for storing personal data such as photos, music, movies, etc.

SD Cards

In some situations, you may need an SD card duplicator software:

1. Your SD card is running out of space. For this situation, you need to transfer files from the SD card to another place so that you can free up more space to store new data. Simply copy and paste will waste a lot of time and make some bootable files invalid if inside data contains programs, thus, cloning SD card to another storage device is a better way.

2. You want to change a new SD card. Sometimes, you may want to change a new SD card when the SD card  cannot satisfy your needs any longer, for example, if the capacity of SD card is not enough, you may want to upgrade it to a larger one, but you still need the data on the old hard drive. Thus, cloning data on the old SD card to the new SD card is necessary.

There are more situations you need to clone SD card. But how to do that? Some free SD card clone software seems necessary.
