 media are a compact, portable, and versatile data storage media designed for exchanging and sharing digital

data with compatible devices. The following types of Memory Stick media are available, but compatibility with your computer
can vary. 



 media (MagicGate Memory Stick media) — Provides copyright protection with

authentication and encryption, using Sony

®

 MagicGate technology. Authentication ensures that protected content is

only transferred between compliant devices and media. Protected content can be recorded and transferred in an
encrypted format that prevents unauthorized duplication or playback. You can store different data formats on a
single Memory Stick media. 



Memory Stick PRO   media — Provides MagicGate copyright protection and high-speed data transfer features
when used with compatible Memory Stick PRO devices. VAIO

®

 computers support Memory Stick PRO media for data

storage purposes only. Currently, high-speed data transfer and the MagicGate technology features, such as
authentication and encryption, are not available. You can store different data formats on a single Memory Stick
media. 



 media — Provides data storage only. The Memory Stick media does not provide MagicGate

technology or high-speed data transfer. You can store different data formats on a single Memory Stick media. 

Currently, Sony

®

 SonicStage   and OpenMG   software are not compatible with the new Memory Stick PRO media. Sony

suggests using only MagicGate Memory Stick media to store and transfer any data created with SonicStage or OpenMG
software.
