does this automatically write protects SD cards or no?

This is simply a carrier. It does not change the settings of your SD card. The card would need to be set to write protect before inserting it into the carrier. There should be a small slide switch toward the pins on the left side of the card. Moving this switch down or to the lock position, causes the card to be write protected. Moving the switch up, allows the card to be written to.

This device does not control the read/write settings. Before you slide your SD card into this device you need to set the read/write setting using the slide switch on the side of the SD card itself.

I use it with a regular sd card and just plug and play. I did not have to format it.

No, it saves all sound files on the card in a directory called voice (I think). it is not protected in any way.

As long as I have been around computers, I don't know what "a write protected software" is. It has some basic protections for who accesses the folders, password protection and such, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean. I have not formatted the drive, it worked fine out of the box. Do take note of the few people who complained of the interior of the drive pulling out of the aluminum casing. That has not happened to me, but I thought I'd pass it along. Sorry I can't be of more help with the question... Maybe if you restate it we can help. :)

There is a menu option to have the system overwrite old data automatically. I use a 16GB card and my unit records a continuous loop of a little over the last 48-hours.

You mean the SD card storage? if the SD card storage is full, it will automatically covering the earily recording file,the recording continues.

Sadly it doesn't, but i like how you think! You can record till the card's full and then you need to manually delete before you can record any more. Tell the guys from ION to include it in the next one!

No. There is no lock/read-only option on either micro-SD cards or this card reader. I would recommend the Elago I,I however, which loads the card in the opposite/USB side of the device. It is more resilient.

I ended up sending mine back because it fried my sd card so I don't know anything. Sorry

Does not overwrite full memory, you have to manually erase every time to free up space on the SD card.

There is a way to write over the card at the beginning when it becomes full. Occasionally I need to wipe the card clean and start over. I am using two 16 GB cards and alternating them between the defender monitor and the main PC to save the important files,

Yes. It will overwrite the card. Just go into Storage Management under System Setup and check the overwrite option.

I use 64gb SDXC (as fast as I can get) as my regular card and I've never had a problem.

I don't know if it will automatically do that. I do it as a backup manually

I have used the USB and SD card reader at the same time without problem. Hope it works for you as well.

I use it both on my s4 and note 2. No issues at all, at least not the "damaged SD card" error everyone seems to get with other cards.

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then Ive been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I dont know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.
