Using your VAIO computer
Using the Memory Stick
Your VAIO computer is designed to support the Memory Stick. The Memory Stick is a compact, portable, and versatile device
especially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data with compatible products, such as digital cameras and mobile phones.
Because it is removable, it can be used for external data storage.
Use the flash memory technology to download anything that can be converted into digital data, such as pictures, music, words,
sounds, movies and photographs. The Memory Stick family ranges in capacity and compatibility.
See the printed Specifications sheet to see which Memory Stick types are compatible with your VAIO and if there are any limitations.
❑
You can purchase Memory Sticks from the Sony Style website (
), or from your local Sony dealer.

Write-protecting a Memory Stick
Some Memory Sticks are designed with an erasure prevention switch to protect valuable data from accidental erasure or overwriting.
Move the tab horizontally or vertically* to set or release write-protection. When the erasure prevention switch is off, data can be saved
on the Memory Stick. When the erasure prevention switch is on, data can be read from but not saved on the Memory Stick.
* Some kinds of Memory Stick do not have an erasure prevention switch.
