About a “Memory Stick”
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.”
