Been using the card for a while in my PSP. The card is reliable and supports fast data transfers. Perfect for loading music, videos, etc., for the PSP. Compared to the more expensive Sony cards, this is a great buy!
I bought the high speed 1 gig duo pro memory sticks from both Sony and Sandisk. I saw no difference between the two in terms of shot to shot times or flash recovery in my H1 camera. Some photography sites said that the sandisk is faster. They measure it in terms of hundreds or sometimes thousands of a second. Who can really tell? I know my brain didn't register a difference. With that said there is really no reason to go for the higher priced Sony stick when this one will work fine.
I love this memory card. It is faster for uploads and downloads. It works in my Sony Cybershot, my PSP, and my Epson printer unlike another reviewer. I have had no problems with it.
This line of cards is a good midway point to the very expensive Sony High-Speed line (trust me, if you found them cheap somewhere, they are fake). The SanDisk Ultra II MSPD cards resolved a problem I had with a PSP game running slow because it was write intensive. I couldn't find any benchmark on speed comparison but this is noticeably faster than the standard 1GB Sony MSPD, which I also own. Interestingly enough the PSP-included Sony standard 32MB MSPD was faster than the 1GB version, but that's besides the point.

I just got mine from Amazon (after a lengthly delay). It is an awesome memory card. It comes with the adapter so that you can use it in digital cameras. I tested it on the camera and it worked great. The real test was the compatibility with the SONY PSP. No issues there. The card worked flawlessly. I've already used up 600 MB.....its a must buy!
Plus, at $99.99, its much less than other retailers. btw, i ordered it at $104.99, then contacted amazon about the price drop. They credited the difference to me without any hassle and gave me the one-day shipping at no charge because of the delay. Overall great service too.
I have 4 different sources that read Memory Stick Pro. And, I have Sony, Lexar, Sandisk MS pro cards that read well in all 4 sources.
But this new one does not read in 3 sources I have, one is Epson Printer, second-Gateway PC with WIN XP 2nd pack Multimedia, the last, my Sony Digital still camera. ..again, they all worked fine with any MS PRO cards.
The only source that read this Ultra II card was HP pavilion laptop with "sandisk imagemate 8in1 card reader(USB)" - Win XP 2nd Pack Home.
The manufacturer-sandisk have no clue of this problem but would not replace it with a new one either. They do not think it is a defective. What good is this product if the images cannot be downloaded to your computers?
Amazone.com will charge 50% for returning this opened product.
So, I am stuck and feel very much deceived.
So, unless you use PSP, other PC users should be more careful choosing this product.
The correct name is "Ultra II Memory Stick Duo 1GB" when you find more info in sandisk.com. But they do not have anything that I can download to patch my system yet.
