About Memory Stick Media

Memory Stick® 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.

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. High-speed data transfer and MagicGate technology features, such as authentication and encryption, may not be available. You can store different data formats on a single Memory Stick media.

Memory Stick Pro Duo™ media - Provides the same features and benefits of Memory Stick PRO™ media, in a form that is 1/3 smaller in size.
