Sony 4GB Memory Stick - PRO Duo Card - MSMT4GN

Product Information

Almost all of them have fallen by the wayside, so probably readers supporting them are easier to find second-hand than new, and there is likely no USB3 reader to be found, though the transfer rates of the old cards don't really necessitate one. Memory Stick PROs have a marginally higher transfer speed and a maximum theoretical capacity of 32 GB, [b] although GB-sized capacities of more than 2GB are only available in the PRO Duo form factor.

This Memory Stick Duo adaptor allows Memory Stick Duo media to be used in any Memory Stick Standard compatible hardware products. In line with the rest of the industry, the XC series uses the newer exFAT file system due to size and formatting limitations of FAT/FAT16/FAT32 filesystems used in the PRO series. While only serial and 4-bit parallel interfaces are supported in the Memory Stick PRO format, an 8-bit parallel interface was added to the Memory Stick PRO-HG format. Sony also designed Memory Sticks as I/O devices for cameras, GPS and Bluetooth modules, but they were not widely used.To use a Memory Stick Micro media with this product, be sure to insert the Memory Stick Micro media into an M2 Adaptor as large as Duo size.

For a while now, I've been collecting flash card adapters that would convert flash memory cards from one type to another. The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and stands out due to its small size and weather-resistant build. HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories.However, not all devices with a PRO slot are compatible with the M2/Adapter combination, as the firmware of older devices don't support the higher capacity of some M2 cards. For me, that was worth it (and my laptop does have a builtin SDHC reader of its own, so the lack of SDHC support is no problem for me). This solution was fairly unpopular, but it did give users of older Memory Stick devices more capacity. No Memory Stick XC cards were released to the market, likely due to domination of SD cards; its equivalent here is named SDXC and eventually became more successful than any other exFAT-based memory card format.

In 2003, the Memory Stick PRO came out with a little more transfer speed and increased storage capacity, eventually reaching into the gigabyte range. In 2009, Sony and SanDisk also announced the joint development of an expanded Memory Stick PRO format tentatively named "Memory Stick PRO Format for Extended High Capacity". The Memory Stick PRO, introduced on January 9, 2003, as a joint effort between Sony and SanDisk, [25] would be the longer-lasting solution to the space problem.This is the stick that I have and was wondering which card reader I can use to plug it into my laptop to download photos. Developed by Sony in 1998, the Memory Stick Pro Duo or MSPD is an external, removable storage medium that is used to save data such as pictures, videos, games and all sorts of personal documents.
