Sony Vs Sandisk |
FuricTrax Joined: Jan 31, 2002 Posts: 261 From: West Midlands, UK PM |
I recently just purchased a 1GB Sony HIGH SPEED stick and a SanDisk MobileMate to read it in to increase speeds and it also means I don't have to carry the cable round with me.
However I've just had to send the MobileMate back for replacement because it doesn't actually read my 1GB card!! |

Ordered my sandisk 1gig yesterday... and it came this morning!
Its great! well worth the price! and it works perfect with my phone and my PSP.
Tests:
Using my card reader i managed to transfer 700MB in just 3.40 minutes.
Using my PSP i managed to transfer 700MB even quicker in just 3.00 minutes!
I can definently recommend Sandisk over Sony anyday! so much faster!

I have a Sony "high speed" card for my k750i and it doesn't even work in most of my card readers - including a brand new mobilemate
So, I got a sony MSAC-US30
Now I can write 700Mb in 2mins
Write speed:
6,123,815 b/s
5,980 kB/s
5.8 MB/s
I believe poor results people experience with this card is because performance is optimised for the parallel interface and most reader/writers only use the serial interface...

@melk yeh you will never get the full size because the file system takes up some space, the same thing with harddrives you never really get a 40gb you get 38.somthing gb

It is important to note that hard drive manufacturers often use the metric definition of the prefixes "giga" and "mega." However, nearly all operating system utilities report capacities using binary definitions for the prefixes.
For example, a drive advertised as 200 GB (metric) is closer to 186.26 GiB (binary) in the real world.

some people say when using 1Gb Ms duo on K750i, saving pics takes longer than using smaller size Ms duo.......can anyone confirm this? Is it really slow?

I think Lexar only makes memory sticks. But not duos.

Anyone looking for a cheap 1gb memory stick duo? Just been to HMV, and they are selling them for £34.99, dunno how long that's going to last. Probably not long cuz they're selling the 512mb ones for £54.99 So best make the most of it. It is a Sandisk one. Better than spending £100 on it. |

If anyone has recently upgraded from a 128 MB DUO, I am interested in purchasing a used 128 MB DUO stick. Please PM with offers.
Thanks......

I recently got a sandisk 1Gb gaming stick. I haven't noticed it being any slower then the 64meg stick. |
