How To: Copy SD Card data from one card to another or larger SD Card and keep a copy if you want.​

Thank you, Mr. Glass.

I took your suggestion to download two, very useful, free tools to get my new, 64 Gb SD Card in the phone with all the data migrated to the new card before inserting it into the phone.

Gosh, now I got so much space on ExtSDCard that I almost don't know what to do with it![ 59.4 Gb free on ExtSDCard now, wow! One thing comes to mind. The cameras in our phones, video cam too, are very high resolution cameras. Taking HD video can eat a LOT of space if you run if for many minutes. Heck, now I could run an HD video recording for way over an hour if I want. The ONLY thing that makes our phone camcorders less than better than a dedicated video cam is the optics. We have a small, fixed lens. Regular video and photo cams have optical zooms which really work, the only thing you suffer with an optical zoom is the picture gets a bit darker. Digital zoom does nothing more than take a small square of the original picture and blow it up larger. W/out the pixels to provide more details, digital zoom only adds grain to the picture. But, the regular HD video on our cams is very, very good.

Mr. Glass' suggested two very valuable and completely free tools:

HDD Raw Copy Tool

Partition Wizard Home Edition

$10 USB SD Card Reader/Writer

Vivitar SD™ And SDHC™ Media Card Reader

64 Gb Micro SD Card, $40:

SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A

The 64Gb SDCard cost me $40 w/free shipping from Amazon. The price went up by $1.48. I think it is worth the money. Radio Shack wants $55-65 for them. This is a good deal.

The software tools are free, download them and either install them on your main PC, OR both come with portable tools that do not require installation. I put the phone SD card into a cheap USB reader from Office Depot, $10, and plugged it into my USB port, it came up like a flash drive. I used HDD Raw Copy Tool to open the drive, write the image of the card to a file on my hard drive. I then swapped the SDCard in the reader with the new, blank card and use the same tool to write the new image file to the brand new SDCard. Partition Wizard Home Edition is then used to take this 16Gb partition and just stretch it out to the full size of the drive, Bam, done! The entire thing from start w/out software to done was about 45 minutes. Added Bonus: I now have a complete copy of my phone ExtSDCard on my PC, ready to restore at any time. This man helped me out, A LOT.

Thank you very, very much, Mr. Glass. You really are good with sharing your experience to help others.

I also wanted people to know that these tools are out there and they are free. These two small programs do their job, do it well, are free, and have no limits, ads, or restrictions on them other than Home Use Only. I am a big backup fan so now I can put Titanium Backup and Safe Strap backups on the ExtSDCard and they won't even make a dent in it, NOT like before when they ate half of my card or more. I have to roms to backup, stock JB rooted and cm11.

I wrote this mini-guide to show others how to copy their SD Cards and provide links to the free, valuable tools. And to express my appreciation to Mr. Glass, for sharing his vast experience with phones, computers, and knowledge. :victory:
