What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a compact large-capacity IC storage media. The media
can be used not only for transferring data between “Memory Stick”
compatible products, but also as a removable, external storage media for
storing data.
“Memory Stick” is available in standard size and a smaller size called
“Memory Stick Duo.” When “Memory Stick Duo” is inserted into a
Memory Stick Duo Adaptor, the size becomes the same as the standard-
sized “Memory Stick” to allow to use with products that are compatible
with the standard-sized “Memory Stick.”
“Memory Stick PRO” and “Memory Stick PRO Duo” are also available for
handling even larger capacity data.
