About a “Memory Stick”
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile IC (Integrated
Circuit) recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy
disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing
digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is
removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage.
“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and compact
“Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo
adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” turns to the same size as standard
“Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with
standard “Memory Stick.”
Types of “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick” is available in the following four types to meet various
requirements in functions.
• “Memory Stick-R”
Stored data are not overwritten. You can write data to “Memory Stick-R”
with “Memory Stick-R” compatible products only. Copyright protected
data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be
written to “Memory Stick-R.”
• “Memory Stick”
Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data that requires the
MagicGate copyright protection technology.
• “MagicGate Memory Stick”
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology.
• “Memory Stick-ROM”
Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. You cannot record on “Memory
Stick-ROM” or erase the pre-recorded data.
Available types of “Memory Stick”
