About Memory Stick

Memory Stick is a removable flash memory card format, launched by Sony in 1998, and is also used in general to describe the whole family of Memory Sticks. Typically, Memory Sticks are used as storage media for a portable device, in a form that can easily be removed for access by a personal computer. For example, Sony digital compact cameras use Memory Sticks for storing image files. With a Memory Stick-capable reader (typically a small box that connects via USB or some other serial connection), a user can copy the pictures taken with the Sony digital camera to a computer. Sony has been using Memory Sticks in digital cameras, digital music players, PDAs, cellular phones, the PlayStation Portable (PSP), and other devices.

Memory Stick Data Loss

Here are two cases I recently received from my customers.

The first one is from Molly, who called me to ask for help. Last week she accidently formatted her 2GB memory stick. She was in a hurry for an abroad trip in Maldives with her boyfriend, so before leaving, excited Molly clear the memory stick in Sony to make free space for their new memory. It's really a happy journey, because they enjoyed sun bath, diving, gliding and took many photos in the beautiful land. However, Molly felt sad because her boyfriend bought a larger 8G memory stick to store photos and the 2G memory stick was not useful at all, the key point was she wanted to recover the photos cleared before which taken with her family.

Another case happened to a young guy, Kevin, who played PS games with USB memory stick. As a frantic fan of Sony PlayStation, Kevin always compete in FIFA or Onimusha with his friends, and record the results with a USB memory stick to record their best performance. They were enjoying games until the sudden power cut last night, when they went back to game, they found there was nothing in the USB memory stick. As friend and PS fan, I told him I could recover data from the USB memory stick.
