Sony MSMT4G 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark2) Media Reviews

Works great!

Purchased this for my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 camera based on the 25 great reviews before me. (Thanks, reviewers… I wasn’t exactly sure what I was doing because the documentation that came with the camera didn’t provide any help on how to buy memory!) I thought $38.50 was a great deal. It does the job and allows me to record video clips without feeling like I’m eating up all my memory. (For reference, about a minute and a half of video uses up about 200 shots out of the 2,500+ shots. Though I don’t know if the resolution settings, etc. are factored into that estimate).

16 Gigs of Satisfaction

I bought the Sony 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo for my PSP and I feel like I almost have too much space for pictures, game saves, music, and movies. Because of the 16GB of storage space, my PSP now rivals my iPod Nano plus I can fit a hand-full of full length films on it. More storage space is definitely a good thing; I am very happy with my purchase.

Works on my Sony Ericsson W810i phone

After searching around on forums and review board, I couldn’t find anything about whether this 16 gig memory card would work with my Sony Ericsson W810i cellphone/walkman (AT&T/Cingular version), so I thought I would go out on a limb and try it.

Well I am happy to report that it does work with this phone, but there are a few things that I would like to share. From the Settings Menu, the phone does not display anything over 4 gigs, but that just seems to be limitation of that menu itself (perhaps a “fixed odometer” number) because the phone can see the entire contents of the 16 gig memory card, as I loaded 13 gigs of MP3s and had no trouble playing any of them. (Just for note, I inserted the card into the phone, and let it inititalize it. I then removed it and loaded my MP3s from my PC via memory card port on my printer since the transfer rate is much faster than transfering through the phone.)

Since installing the card, there are a few things that are slower in comparision to my previous 4 gig memory card. Turning the phone on takes about 45 seconds to complete. This is not a really a huge problem for me since I normally leave my cell phone on all the time anyways, and if I needed to turn it on in a hurry I’d just remove the memory card. Also, browsing into my MP3s is about the same, but going back a folder level when browsing takes about 5 seconds to complete. I attribute all of this to the large size of the memory card and the phone having to scan it all. The newfound “lag” I believe is the fault of the phone being a few years old when the largest Pro Duo card at the time was a 4 gig.

I don’t attribute any issues being with the memory card itself. The memory card itself works as advertised and have had no issues with it. Its a really nice option to have 16 gigs of music right there on your phone.
