Problems with Notebook Recognizing Magic Gate Technology 
2004-12-15
I'd give Sony an F for allowing this product out the door. My Sony regular memory stick always worked fine in my Toshiba Satellite P25 with built in memorystick slot.
Now, I used two of these Magic Gate Sticks to document an overseas trip and I'm stuck because the notebook cannot read the Magic Gate format. I'd avoid anything that says magic Gate.
this is being reviewed by morons

you people need to realize that this is a Memory Stick PRO, and not
just the ordinary kind. All memory stick pros won't work on your old cameras, so don't review this stick as bad just because you didn't notice that
It would get 5 stars if less expensive

I have both this stick and SanDisk's 256 MB Pro. For the money the SanDisk is a better deal. If you have a camera that is compatible with a Pro stick I highly recommend getting the SanDisk 256 or 512 Pro sticks.
this stick is good but has its drawbacks

I don't really use my memory stick for anything else than taking pictures with my sony DSC-V1. Maybe thats why I don't have any problems with mp3 and so on. Anyway, the memory stick works fine with me, and downloads pretty fast onto my computer. but there is quite a delay with the 3-burst setting since the memory stick takes about 6 seconds to load the pictures onto itself after the initial exposure. But I guess this is because I'm shooting with 5 megapixels.
My main problem is that in my school I have a memory stick adapter with a slot for sony memory sticks. it works with the purple sony memory sticks, but somehow it doesn't with mine. wierd huh? I tried it on two of the same adapters but to no different effect. I find this quite depressing in an age where technology is supposed to be getting better and more adaptable.
But otherwise, my memory stick is just fine.
To all you people out there who are looking at this review: My advice to you is to buy the purple sticks from sony, not the pro memory sticks from san disk. The choice is yours, and i hope you will make the right one.
cheers
Doesn't work with my printer

What a disapointment! I got it because it was suppose to be faster to download. Its not compatable with my HP photosmart printer. I'm returning it for the non-pro!
Another excellent Sony memory stick 2007-09-22
This is the larger sized memory stick pro at 256 mb. I've used this memory stick as well as the newer models for years and have never had any problems with them. This specific one I use for my sony vaio and sony clie and make it easy to transfer pdf and other files between my notebook and handheld clie. Very reliable and never lost any data.
I've not had any problems with these Sony Memory Sticks 2007-02-17
I've owned and use the Sony 256MB Memory Stick Pro pictured (in black), and currently also use a 1GB Sony Memory Stick Pro. I've not had any problems with them, formatting or otherwise, over long periods of heavy use. OK, a little pricier than, say, SD cards, but a good quality product for Sony digital cameras.
Looking London Talking Tokyo 2005-10-21
Site says "NEW" item..but found the plastic cut and opened..when asked seller replied giving many reasons..like... to bring down shipping cost (how ?), or otherwise the price wont be so low ( does that mean give opened item saying NEW) or it was too late to update (we can wait) ...Though Product works well but i had given money for new item..!!! Who knows how long it will work..so think before you buy..opened item is called NEW here !!
Original Memory Stick 2005-07-30
Works properly. Now that the number of megapixels in digital cameras continue to increase, buying a 512mb or 1gb memory card would be a better investment. However, if you don't think you need that much storage, this memory stick produced by Sony will be a good choice for your purposes.
All the memory you need but SanDisk is cheaper 2005-01-30
This product works well enough and has an extensive amount of memory. It is more than enough unless you take an insane amount of pictures or you want to take a 50 min video, in which case I recommend you just buy a digital camcorder. If you are thinking about getting the 512 or bigger i would not recommend it because you will probably find that you simply dont need that much space. However, if I could do it all over again I would buy the SanDisk which works just as well for half the price.
