5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, reliable, April 21, 2005

By	Gadgester "No Time, No Money" (Mother Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Sony makes two 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. The one on this page is MSX-M1GN and it's labeled "High Speed," meaning it reads and writes using parallel connectors. The Sony PSP, among other Sony gadgets, supports this high-speed access technology, so you can use this card in the PSP.

But you don't really need the extra high speed. Instead, you can save money by buying the other Sony 1GB card, model MSX-M1GS (notice difference in the last letter), which is a "non-high speed" 1GB Memory Stick Duo. Both cards support MagicGate, Sony's digital rights management technology. (Sony's Connect online music store requires a MagicGate-compatible storage card.)

Let me emphasize my previous point: you don't need the "high speed" Memory Stick Duo, the regular Memory Stick Duo is fast enough for games, movies and music on the PSP. Paying extra for this "high speed" version (~$40 over the "S" version) if you only use it in the PSP is a waste of money since the PSP doesn't really take advantage of the parallel access technology -- i.e., it plays cool with the technology, but doesn't employ it. On the other hand, if you have one of Sony's latest digital cameras that support high-speed continue shooting, you may want to get this.

This is a fast, reliable flash memory card that will likely last a long time. I've never had any problems with Sony's flash storage cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you know what you're doing, you'll love it, May 11, 2005

By	archangel-sama "djarch" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I've heard a lot of people say that this really isn't needed. Most of these people intend to use it for their PSP. This is not the only use for this card. If you have a Sony camera that supports high speed shooting, this card is a must. With that said, if you own a PSP, and you know what you're doing, this card is a must as well. Reason is, the slower Memory Stick Pro Duo, has a write speed at 15Mbps. The high speed card clocks in at about 80 Mbps. Yeah. Grab your USB 2.0 / Firewire Card reader for this one, it makes a HUGE difference.

The average user, however, will not care. They're probably using the 5 pin USB cable to transfer files, which comes in at about 10 Mbps. There is NO point in buying this card if this is the case for you. On the other hand, if you're like me, and crave the capacity of 1 gb for your psp, odds are you'll be using all 1000 mb of it. You have to go high speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy HIGH SPEED for PSP, December 25, 2005

By	Ken Dog "KenDog" (NY) - See all my reviews

The guy who said it doesn't matter if you get the high speed card or the regular card for your PSP is wrong. This card is 5 times faster than the MSX-M1GS. While you can't see the difference when you are just playing games on your PSP, you will see it when you are transferring data from your PC to the PSP. To transfer 800 MB of data with this card takes about 2 minutes. With the slow card it takes about 10 minutes...... that's a big difference. Now, I'm using a USB 2.0 connection. If you are using a USB 1 connection, then you won't reap the benefits of this card cause it's too slow.

If you USB 2.0 and you want speed and can afford it, get this card. If you don't mind waiting then you can get the regular card.
