On “Memory Stick”

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.”
