I have used this SD Formatter on several SDHC cards up to 32GB, and also the 16GB micro SDHC card currently in my Clip+ (using micro to SDHC adapter).
What format options did you use on the 32GB card? Was it the Quick, Full (erase on) or Full (erase off)?
And did you use the format size adjustment? And how long did it take to format the card?
I was going to use the SD Formatter for my 32GB card, but if it’ll take a couple of hours, like it took H2testw to write to the card, I’ll pass and just keep on using Window’s formatter. I may not get my card’s optimal performance, but it works well enough.
I used Full (Erase Off), no format size adjustment. It took maybe 10 minutes to do my 16GB micro SDHC card, or thereabouts.
Does it matter if you use e.g. Windows generic formatter or SD Formatter to format an SD(HC) card? Who knows? The SD Association says it does, on the SD Formatter page. I have not tested extensively to compare different formatting methods/tools for SD.
