What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a new-generation IC storage media that is ultra-small and lightweight and has far greater storage capacity than floppy disks. 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 use with products that are compatible with the standard-sized “Memory Stick.”
