Review for CN MEMORY USB 8GB CN Memory Stick 5 Years Warranty:
At this very moment I'm adding another 600MB to it on top of around 4GB of data files. It's been running for 1.5 hours now and only completed 2/3 of it!
It's true, the 600MB consist of a lot of files, but it's the worst speed I've ever seen!
One more thing... Last night I wanted to delete the 7.5GB on it before I went to bed. After 2 hours I decided to go to bed and let it finish the job over night (after 2 hours it only deleted around 40% of the 7GB!!!)
My advice? I suggest you watch the grass growing, the paint drying, etc. I can guarantee you, it will be less... frustrating!
By the way... It looks nice! That's why I gave it two stars instead of the minimum... one!!!

Review for CN MEMORY USB 8GB CN Memory Stick 5 Years Warranty:
Slowest memory stick I've ever seen!
Speedwise, I'd give it 6 out of 10 for the first 4GB. After that, adding more files to it is not only slow, but excruciatingly slow!At this very moment I'm adding another 600MB to it on top of around 4GB of data files. It's been running for 1.5 hours now and only completed 2/3 of it!

Review for Sandisk 2GB ULTRA II Compact Flash:
P.S. Stick to Amazon - I tried to find the better price by going directly to sellers, but ended up wasting time. Whilst the postage on here is far higher than buying direct, you lose that saving by paying a higher price on the product itself.

GREAT budget card
I've bought two of these for my EOS350D over the past year. Even though it's read/write speed is only 1/2 of Extreme III (2GB version of which I am about to buy this very morning), I never found it wanting, even when taking simultaneously taking multiple raw/top jpeg shots. Oh - and on a recent holiday, this cheap little card was performing very happily at -35C. Definitely recommended.P.S.

Review for Memory Stick Duo adaptor for Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro:
1. The stick and adaptor don't fit well in my camera, and it's very hard to take out unless you remove the batteries first.
2. More and more often now, I get"memory stick error" on the camera when I turn it on - even when the camera was working fine shortly before, and nothing had been changed.
3. "Memory stick error" means you can't take photos and you end up wasting time fiddling around with the memory stick until it decides to work.
4. You may lose photos you already took before the error.
5. I have a Sony Vaio laptop with a slot designed for Memory Stick Pro. The adaptor does not fit in it - it is too wide.
Other people here seem to have found the adaptor and Pro Duo combo OK, but I've not been happy. My advice is, buy from somewhere reputable where you can return it if it doesn't work and beware sellers claiming to be selling a Pro stick when it's actually an adaptor and a Pro Duo - that's where I made my mistake.

Rather unreliable
My Sony Cybershot DSC-W17 camera takes Memory Stick Pro, which are now quite hard to come by. I recently wanted to buy a Pro stick but ended up with with adaptor and a Pro Duo. All was well for a little while but I have the following gripes:1. The stick and adaptor don't fit well in my camera, and it's very hard to take out unless you remove the batteries first.

So so cool
Very pleased with this device. The speed is great (~8MB/s with the SD card I got) and what I didn't realise before it arrived was that it has three different memory slots that can be used at the same time. So, three drive letters get mapped in Windows for SD, Mini SD and Micro SD.A great little device.

Review for EasyDisk 2GB USB 2.0 flash drive pen memory stick disk - silver aluminium:
Fast - I am VERY happy with this
I have tried a few usb sticks. I bought one of these first from a local shop. When I needed a 4G I thought I would get a different brand so I could tell which was which. I went to Curry's and bought their own but it is much, much slower. I bought a (since forgotten) new 2G from Amazon but gave it away. I bought some cheap 1G usb sticks and will now give them away. I have since bought a second EasyDisk from Amazon. Nothing I have tried is as fast as this. If you copy largish amounts of data regularly (I use mine for regulare backups) then you will be happy with this.I am going to stich with EasyDisk and use felt pens to distinguish between them all!

Review for Kingston Technology 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive with Exclusive 6 way jewel case bundle (case holds one of XD,CF,SD,MMC, Memory stick, or SM):
Access speed - Ok there are quicker drives but you are only talking seconds and subjectively I have had had no problems with the read and write performance.
Price - not the cheapest and by no means the most expensive but a recognised manufacturer and over the three months of ownership it has been reliable. To be honest most flash drives now are pretty reliable over several years.
I can't get excited about a flash drive pen and as I don't care what it looks like this is a decent bargain and at the price I'm not going to fret if I loose or break it. Recommended, but if you are looking for high performance and style then look elsewhere.

Not stylish but a good performer for the money
Looks and build - Green and white so not a stylish flash drive but it is fairly small compared to some cheaper versions. Build quality seems pretty solid.Access speed - Ok there are quicker drives but you are only talking seconds and subjectively I have had had no problems with the read and write performance.
