Sony’s Pro-HG Duo memory stick to be available this August
Sony announced the other day that development of the much-talked about memory stick PRO-HG Duo is now in full swing and will become available in authorized dealers and online retail store SonyStyle.com across North America starting August of this year. This hasn’t been mentioned in a long time so let us refresh your memories about this particular memory stick (Pun not intended).
Sony’s Memory Stick PRO-HG media is capable of recording times and data transmission and is three times faster than the standard Memory Stick Duo products. This is because of its 8-bit parallel interface and the flash memory device. The addition of four more connector pins results data transfer of up to 30MB/s (240 Mbps) megabytes per second.
But if for some other reason you still want to use just four connectors, PRO-HG Duo media is also capable of that but take note that the minimum write speed of 15 megabits per second will be employed. Quite curiously, the new memory stick features copyright protection technology MagicGate that provides security to commercial content like digital music and downloaded movies.
In relation to this, Sony will also be releasing Memory Stick Duo ExpressCard adaptor. This is for personal computers with an ExpressCard slot – mostly familiar in the 2007 line up of VAIO computers. How fast will this make the data transfer, you ask? Well, let’s just say that you can transfer one hour of personal video to your computers in around two minutes from a regular memory stick handy cam.
Memory Stick PRO-HG media is also available in three different capacities: 1GB (US$ 60), 2GB (US$ 90), and 4GB (US$ 150).
