Bought this last year and used it in a PSP. It has suddenly stopped working and isn't recognized on any computer or in any device. It was working fine while playing a game, but the psp's memory light started flashing a little after quitting the game and then the card was no longer recognized. It's still under warranty so Lexar says they'll replace it. Luckily I had a backup of most of the data. I have another one of these cards that I use for viewing movies and so far it's still working. So we'll see if this was one bad card or something more pervasive to the brand.

Ordered on the 31st and recieved on the 7th. Works very quickly and is very reliable so far. I would say that the Lexar brand is in equal quality to the Sony and SanDisk brands of memory sticks at a much cheaper price. After in-system format you'll get only 14GB though.

BOUGHT THIS FOR MY PSP TO LOAD GAMES AND IT HAS WORKED SUPERB! GREAT BUY, BREAT PRICE!

I bought one of these used, and at first, I loved it. Enormous amount of space for music, videos and pictures. But after two months it died. Flat out unreadable by any device.
I was disappointed but decided since it was used that I must have just been bad-luck.
So I bought another of the same card brand New. Out of the Box it was also dead. Unreadable by any device (tried it on my PC, PSP and PS3 all of which said that It couldn't be read/there was no memory stick inserted).
I don't know if I just have the worst luck in the world or what. But I'm definitely not going back to Lexar any time soon.

Decent memory - I'm using it in a PSP. Access times seems pretty good for both reading and writing data.

After browsing amazon I found this to be the cheapest of the 16gb memory stick pro duo, and decided that there was more 5/5 stars for it than there was 1/5 and 2/5. Huge Mistake.

As other people said, the card was dead out of the box. Neither my PSP or my computer's card reader would recognize it. This makes 2/2 Lexar products that failed me, will never purchase anything under this brand again.

Got 2 of these for my kids to use with their Slim Sony PSP's. This memory stick works great. It's fast and they have no issues at all! Much cheaper than Sony sticks; Great Product!!!!

Thought this would be a solid buy since it had an overall high star-score, but I was wrong. The thing was dead out of the box and my Sony PSP would not even read the card. That's what I get for buying the cheapest. Lesson learned. I'm returning it and sticking to Sony or Sandisk branded sticks where I've never had a problem.

I bought this card from Beach Camera, and I must say I'm impressed...
At first I was skeptical about Mark 2 cards and their performance, but now I believe in it... my old 8gb stick from Sandisk has lower read/write speeds than this one (In the benchmark I ran in the PSP the read/write speeds of this baby are about 10MB, the double of the Sandisk card I own)

Also, the stick that was shipped to me is not like the one of the image, it has the Full-HD video thing on it too(not that I care about it but I felt like telling this too)...

If you are trying to find a high speed/high capacity memory stick for your PSP I'd recommend you this one... I didn't tried the Pro-HG or Ultra sticks from Sony/Sandisk but since they are twice as expensive I'd rather stay with this one

**Important Note: when formatted this card will have only 14,7~14,8GB on the PSP... this is normal, and every card of 16GB should have this space available after formatting them...

i use this for my psp and it works fast and awesome hold all my songs a few games and a couple hours of video in just 1 of these cards and for only #30 x3 this item is simply awesome :)
