About the “Memory Stick”

What is a “Memory Stick”?

A “Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and versatile Integrated Circuit recording medium with a data storage capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. A “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, the “Memory Stick “ can also be used for external data storage.

“Memory Stick” media are available in two sizes: a standard size and a compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, the “Memory Stick Duo” is physically the same size as a standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with the standard “Memory Stick .”
