The main advantages of the Memory Stick ™ are its:
Compactness : with dimensions of just 21.5 mm (W) x 2.8 mm (H) x 50 mm (D), compatible products can
also be small, lightweight and attractive in their design.
Capacity : Its data capacity far exceeds that of a floppy disk.
Security : its lock option means you can protect your data from accidental erasure.
Versatility : memory capacity ranges from 4MB up to 128MB (the equivalent capacity of 88 floppy disks).
Reliability : by way of protecting the hardware and its contents, the number of terminals is reduced to
only 10 pins. This, and the overall robust structure of the stick, gives it a longer lifespan than other
storage devices.
Durability : the same Memory Stick ™ can be used thousands of times.
Forward compatibility : the Memory Stick's ™ current format is designed to be compatible with future
products and higher capacity Memory Sticks ™ .
The future of Memory Stick™
Memory Stick's ™ potential is virtually unlimited, with the number of compatible products increasing
rapidly in both personal and professional spheres.
The introduction of the 256 MB and 512 MB Memory Stick ™ is anticipated in 2002, and a 1 gigabyte
capacity Memory Stick ™ is expected in 2003. Additionally, the native transfer speed of the Memory Stick ™
will be increased to accommodate the increasing capacity. By the end of 2002, Memory Stick's ™ transfer
speed will be increased by eight times to a maximum of 20MB/sec.
