I made a post somewhere comparing the M2 Read/Write Speeds vs the MicroSD Read/Write speeds and I had found that the M2 card format still came out on top.
I just cannot find it. And its on this very site

yes, I believe MS is a superior format compared to SD, but is crippled by magicgate (which makes the format more expensive).

(I posted the same thing at the W710 Discussion thread. Check below and let me know if you can help me)
Hi there. I'd like to know if one of you might give me at least an idea about the problem that I'm experiencing with my SE W710i (Unlocked - Firmware: R1JC002 prg CXC1250433_NAM_1_CH R1JC002. EROM: R3A016 /Camera Version: 3.0 / Java: JP-7.3).
Yesterday my girl and I were seeing some pics of our 4 months old nephew. All the photos were stored at the memory stick M2 (Sony original 512mb). The ms also contained 2 or three folders with music (mp3). In a second, when mi girl went to show the pics to a friend, all the pictures gone, all the music gone too!!!!. We decided to turn off the cell phone, remove the MS-M2, reinsert the MS-M2 and turn the cell phone on. Just after the startup screens, the cell phone shows a warning saying: "Are you sure you want to FORMAT the MS-M2? All information will be lost!!!" Also on the cell phone, trying to see saved pictures and/or media files, when I choose the Memory Stick tab, Says " Memory Stick not Inserted"
Weird thing. I've tried to read the MS-M2 using an USB card reader (Win XP SP2). When insert the MS-M2, the "Autoplay" window appears but closes a few seconds after. I'd like to know if the problem is on the MS-M2 or on the cell phone. An update may solve this inconvenience? SE service will be the best, right?
Thanks a lot for the help, patience, answers... and sorry for my "Engrish"

Questions:
1) SanDisk or Sony and where did you buy the M2?
2) Can you see the data (pictures, music) using the USB reader?
3) Original M2 or a new one?

@Juiniji
1) SanDisk or Sony and where did you buy the M2?
A: Sony, and it came with the cell phone (bought on eBay US)
2) Can you see the data (pictures, music) using the USB reader?
A: Lately, I've been experiencing problems with the card reader, I should try again, but the card reader even recognize the M2.
3) Original M2 or a new one?
A: It's the original one.
About this problem, I've been checking a little bit deeper on the forum and I found different tips about how to recognize a fake MS. Very useful information, really.
Thanks for your reply, Juiniji!!!!

there is corruption on the memory card (or it is failing). You could try and recovery with PC Inspector File Recovery (free download). After that you will have to format the card, then test it thoroughly to ensure it's not faulty.

I want to access my M2 micro on my laptop but I read that I need an adaptor or something, do they sell a specific adaptor for micros or can I use a Duo adaptor? (the only one I can find).

Just got a brand new PSP (white) with a 512 mem stick.
Went to format the stick and i got an error message
Sounds like a dead stick to me - a lot of the ones on eBay are fakes and this kind of thing happens.

Does the Sony Ericsson P1i supports 8Gigs? Does it goes slower with a new M2 8GB? Can I trust a bulk package seller?
Posted by juniji
8GB - yes will work with P1i. 16GB, 32GB too - whenever they are ready.
Slower - no.
M2 runs at about 4MB/sec write, 8-10MB/sec read regardless of capacity.
There are 8 chips in there.
Does your 8-disk CD changer run any slower than your 1 CD player?
Simplified - but the same. Each flash chip runs independently at the same speed whether you have 1 chip (1GB) 4 or 8 chips (8GB).

Any idea what is the biggest capacity of M2 can K800i support? 4gb?
Posted by strizlow800
It is said that K800 supports cards up to 4GB... But it should work fine with 8GB one too. The 4gb and 8gb cards have the same filesystem so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with 8gb one...
P.S. I think someone tried using K800 with 8gb card... I think it worked well, but the only 2 "problems" were that the phone didn't show the free memory correctly (but was using it as it should be) and the media player tracks listing was going too slow...
Posted by afbug
Thanks for confirming. I'm looking at a 4gb card. 8gb will probably be too slow and lag too much for a K800.
Posted by strizlow800
The phone will work OK. You will lose speed in reading tracks in the media player only
Posted by abubakar
why is it so hard to know the capacity a phone can take? you'll get different capacities from different sources. initially i heard my p990 had a 2 gig cap. now i hear its 4! i've even seen a site that said 8! cant the phone manufacturers give the capacities on thier web sites?
Posted by masseur
the trouble is that capacities are given by SE at time of launch based on what is available at that time.
however these days you can be sure that SE are not placing artificial limits on their phones so if it supports 4gb you can be sure it will support 8gb and larger
most phones support fat32 and therefore fit the above category but only a few low end models still support only fat16 and therefore only support up to 2gb
Posted by max_wedge
The most common limit of fat16 partitions is 2GB. P910 uses fat16 hence the 2GB limit. However Windows xp can format fat16 partitions to 4GB, but will only be readable by other WinXP devices. This may be where the confusion comes from.
EDIT: Oops, I just noticed he was talking about P990
In that case it will without a doubt support 4GB (and higher)
K800 can use up to 32GB (the memory addressing limit of the memorystick architecture). As far as speed goes there is no difference. What some notice as "slowness" is simply the fact more filenames need to be read into memory. Example, an 8GB (my K800 uses 8GB currently) card may contain say 5GB of music in one folder (as is the case in my example). It will take the phone a considerably longer time to load the list of files into memory compared to a folder containing only 1GB of files. This is true regardless of the total size of the card.
As far as performance goes there is no difference. Equivalent videos for example play just as smoothly on a 2GB card compared to a 8GB card.
BTW, 8GB card memory size is read correctly on my K800.

I just bought a sony m2 for my k800. And it sucks. File transfer is so slow. But I've only tried this using file transfer with my phone connected to the USB. I havent tried putting it into a card reader though.
Will it make a difference?

big big difference! Cable is slow, whereas card reader is more like the proper usb2 speed.
Posted by strizlow800
Correct... I used to get twice faster data transfers when using card reader, then copying directly to my K800 using USB cable.
