This is a terrific buy and comparable to the more high priced brands. For some reason, not all computer download programs will allow this to work. Visit the SanDisk website for details. The way I found around this problem was to buy a card reader for my computer and the entire problem was solved for less than $10 which allowed me to continue using the SanDisk products - and saving a lot of money! The memory stick itself is almost perfect. The review is written with no knowledge as to who the potential seller is.
Really like the fact that I could even find one of these too buy! My Sony camera cannot use the newer sticks and Ebay is one of the places where you can easily find one of these. I purchased 4 of these recently and 3 of them worked. Even though I got my money returned on the one that did not work you might want to ask the seller about return policies, and whether or not they have been tested and in working condition.
Another word of CAUTION. The reason I was looking for these is the fact that I lost 3 of them in the past, and the reason I was on the internet was because you cannot find them in any retail outlets. SO WATCH WHERE YOU PUT THEM!!!!! I printed some pictures in Wal_mart and lost the stick before I got home.
I LOVE my Memory Stick. I write all kinds of stories, music, poems and such. I always had a hard time being able to take my stuff where I wanted it to go. And finding a printer, or keeping my stuff ONLY on the computer hook up to the printer was not easy nor fun. But the SanDisk Memory Stick lets me store ALL of my documents, plus other stuff, all a tiny little stick. Then I can attach it to which ever computer I want to work on. If I want to be mobile and go places with my documents in tow, I just hook it up to the Labtop and it's there waiting for me to pull it up. If I want to print something from it, I just unplug it and carry it over to the other computer. I plug it in there, quickly and easily pull it up, print it, and I'm done. It's just WONDERFUL. I decided to buy it cause my dad had one and it sounded cool, but it is more than cool, it is so useful and it really saves me time and effort, and computer space. I LOVE it.
