+# Formatting USB, SD drives
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Connect and disconnect device to find out which device is your USB/SD card 
+```
+lsblk
+#sda           8:0    1  59.4G  0 disk 
+#├─sda1        8:1    1  12.9G  0 part /media/...
+#├─sda2        8:2    1   128K  0 part 
+#...
+```
+2. delete particions using gparted 
+```
+#?Securely Wipe Up the Data (Optional) #
+#?If you just want to destroy the partition table on sdX disk, to create smth new on it, you can use smth like this (as root):
+?sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4096 count=1024 status=progress
+```
+* Create the partition table:
+```
+sudo parted /dev/sda --script -- mklabel msdos
+
+* Create a Fat32 partition that takes the whole space:
+```
+sudo parted /dev/sda --script -- mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 100%
+```
+
+3. Creates a single FAT32 partition with 32 KB cluster size on the SD card
+```
+LABEL_NAME=sd_59-4GB
+sudo mkfs.fat -n ${LABEL_NAME} /dev/sda -F 32 -I #use -I to override
+```
+
