I decided to format the microSD Card, inside the microSD to Memory Stick Duo Adapter, with my Sony gadgets. For me, that was worth it (and my laptop does have a builtin SDHC reader of its own, so the lack of SDHC support is no problem for me). With the increasing popularity of Secure Digital around 2010, Sony started to include SD in their devices, marking a surrender by Sony of its format war in the memory-card business and the end to further serious development of the format. A maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbit/s (60 Mbyte/s) is achieved through 8-bit parallel data transfer.

While only serial and 4-bit parallel interfaces are supported in the Memory Stick PRO format, an 8-bit parallel interface was added to the Memory Stick PRO-HG format. In addition to the original Memory Stick, this family includes the Memory Stick PRO, a revision that allows greater maximum storage capacity and faster file transfer speeds; Memory Stick Duo, a small-form-factor version of the Memory Stick (including the PRO Duo); the even smaller Memory Stick Micro ( M2), and the Memory Stick PRO-HG, a high speed variant of the PRO to be used in high-definition video and still cameras. In contrast, the Expresscard reader Sony Vaio VGP-MCA20 will only admit the full-size variants (though of course you can use an MS-DUO to MS Adapter here, something that does not work the other way round).This solution was fairly unpopular, but it did give users of older Memory Stick devices more capacity. I don't have any non-PRO compatible devices, so I haven't tested whether this adapter work with older, obsolete, non-PRO Sony gadgets.

A prime example was the development of WiFi transfers through a special Memory Stick PRO-Duo which was still in development as of 2011 [update]. Take a look at the " microSDHC to Memory Stick Pro Duo Converter" review article that is elsewhere on this site.It is a rather old adapter which means that you'll pretty likely only find it in used condition on auction sites, and then likely only occasionally. High Speed Memory Stick PROs are available, and newer devices support this high-speed mode, allowing for faster file transfers. The Vaio adapter does not read SDHC cards, however, making it not useful for much else other than memory sticks. It doesn't matter if the microSD Card is bigger or smaller than 128 MB (maximum size for non-PRO Memory Stick). The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and stands out due to its small size and weather-resistant build.

Other formats (that have become mostly unused) are MMC, xD-Picture card, CompactFlash, SmartMedia and likely a few others I forgot. Sony also designed Memory Sticks as I/O devices for cameras, GPS and Bluetooth modules, but they were not widely used. Developed by Sony in 1998, the Memory Stick Pro Duo or MSPD is an external, removable storage medium that is used to save data such as pictures, videos, games and all sorts of personal documents.We supply memory for mobile phones and digital cameras specialising in a vast collection of SD Cards, Micro SD Cards and USB Flash Drives. Memory Stick PROs have a marginally higher transfer speed and a maximum theoretical capacity of 32 GB, [b] although GB-sized capacities of more than 2GB are only available in the PRO Duo form factor. This Memory Stick Duo adaptor allows Memory Stick Duo media to be used in any Memory Stick Standard compatible hardware products. At the same time, the stick is backed by the latest chip, which protects the digital card and its components. To use a Memory Stick Micro media with this product, be sure to insert the Memory Stick Micro media into an M2 Adaptor as large as Duo size.

This problem has been bugging me for a while and seeing as how no one has really answered i thought i would post the solution. No Memory Stick XC cards were released to the market, likely due to domination of SD cards; its equivalent here is named SDXC and eventually became more successful than any other exFAT-based memory card format. The only advantage the Vaio adapter has is that it becomes part of your laptop if the laptop has an Expresscard slot, and thus you always have it with you. However, the major change was the Duo format, which is half as thick and a third shorter than the original module (see images below).I want to thank all of your for your help with finding something to be able to read my Memory Stick PRO.
