About Memory Stick media
Memory Stick ® media are a compact, portable, and versatile data storage media designed for exchanging and sharing digital
data with compatible devices. The following types of Memory Stick media are available, but compatibility with your computer
can vary.
 MagicGate Memory Stick ® media (MagicGate Memory Stick media) — Provides copyright protection with
authentication and encryption, using Sony ® MagicGate technology. Authentication ensures that protected content is
only transferred between compliant devices and media. Protected content can be recorded and transferred in an
encrypted format that prevents unauthorized duplication or playback. You can store different data formats on a
single Memory Stick media.
 Memory Stick PRO media — Provides MagicGate copyright protection and high-speed data transfer features
when used with compatible Memory Stick PRO devices. VAIO
® computers support Memory Stick PRO media for data
storage purposes only. Currently, high-speed data transfer and the MagicGate technology features, such as
authentication and encryption, are not available. You can store different data formats on a single Memory Stick
media.
 Memory Stick ® media — Provides data storage only. The Memory Stick media does not provide MagicGate
technology or high-speed data transfer. You can store different data formats on a single Memory Stick media.
Currently, Sony ® SonicStage and OpenMG software are not compatible with the new Memory Stick PRO media. Sony
suggests using only MagicGate Memory Stick media to store and transfer any data created with SonicStage or OpenMG
software.
