Extremely compact and only 0.14 ounces in weight, this Sony Memory Stick offers outstanding data storage. This revolutionary medium is ideal for transferring data to a host of connected multimedia devices, and boasts a storage size of 128 MB with a write speed of 1.5 MBps and a read speed of 2.45 MBps.
A rugged 10-pin connector ensures foolproof insertion, easy removal, and reliable connections. An erasure-prevention switch helps prevent accidental deletions of stored data, while Original Serial Protocol ensures forward compatibility with higher-capacity models to be developed in the future.
Buyer Reviews :
My main use for this product is in a Sony Peg SJ30. Interestingly, 128 megs is the current limit for Sony memory stick technology, which is low compared to Compact Flash, which now go up to 1 gig of space. Those aren't cheap of course, being 2 or 3 times the price of most PDAs, but I'm sure the price will come down.
Anyway, that's a lot of RAM storage, and it's available if you need it. Smart Media cards, however, have even less, and are only up to 64 megs so far. The reason is that the controller is not located on the card, which is why they're smaller than Compact Flash. Really, since the Compact Flash is smaller than a paperback book of matches, I don't know why they bothered to make it that small, since I'd rather have the extra space, but oh well, I didn't make the engineering decision.
The nice thing about this extra storage for me is that the typical ebook which you can download free from several websites is only about 200-400k. That means you can store between 250 to 500 books on 128 megs of space. That's an entire library on your Palm PDA, which is pretty amazing when you think about it.
Most people will probably use this product in digital cameras, but the PDA use is what I need. I also wish there were read/write 'drives' available for memory stick cards as there are for Compact Flash cards, which you can hook up to your computer to write to as well as read from, but the only thing available so far is a floppy-type adaptor, which, although it may work, probably has a very low data tranfser rate. Overall, however, this is a fine product, despite the proprietary Sony technology that limits its use to their products. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the Sony brand is a little more expensive than the SanDisk or Lexar products.
