Hello Friends,

What is Disadvantage of Cheap Memory Stick Duo Pro?

Now a days even Cheap Memory also have minimum 1 years warranty.

Whats the cost for 1GB Original and 1GB Cheap?

If Cheap is OK, which make should buy?

Please post your experience with CHEAP as well as ORIGINAL Memory Stick Duo Pro.

Thanks.

Yeah the fake ones are good enough. Its not like they stop working the very next day you buy them. They work long enough for the kind of money you pay for them and i feel are better VFM than the original.

@Tech Geek
how did he managed to buy memory stick pro duos 5 year back nd also the cheaper ones????

@Stick
Cheap sticks are good enough, but the printing on there top fades away quickly. There is no other problem. Maybe they are slower than the original ones. What what the hell...how can one get the real 160MBPS data transfer speed on a mobile?
So the speeds of cheaper ones is more than enough nd we can't find any difference when used on mobiles.

160MBPS is two way, ie read+write, ie 80 for read nd 80 for write nd can be done simultaneously.
