Why Memory Stick?
Sony's vision is to expand the world of communication, promoting the portability of digital data. The
Memory Stick
is the resulting medium, through which digital devices can be instantly connected. With it,
you can download data from any compatible device, then transfer it to another in a single and instant
transfer.
The main advantages of the Memory Stick
are its:
Compactness: with dimensions of just 21.5 mm (W) x 2.8 mm (H) x 50 mm (D), compatible products can
also be small, lightweight and attractive in their design.
Capacity: Its data capacity far exceeds that of a floppy disk.
Security: its lock option means you can protect your data from accidental erasure.
Versatility: memory capacity ranges from 4MB up to 128MB (the equivalent capacity of 88 floppy disks).
Reliability: by way of protecting the hardware and its contents, the number of terminals is reduced to
only 10 pins. This, and the overall robust structure of the stick, gives it a longer lifespan than other
storage devices.
Durability: the same Memory Stick
can be used tens of thousands of times.
Forward compatibility: the Memory Stick's
current format is designed to be compatible with future
products and higher capacity Memory Sticks
