StarJade SDHC MicroSD (TF) to Memory Stick MS Pro Duo Adapter Sleeve

Pros:

first up.....very cheap
it works fine...stuck my microsd and bobs your uncle it worked like a charm in my psp... i tried 1gig 2gig 4gig and 8gig microsd cards...all worked showing no signs of lagging or reduced performance

Cons:

boy quality-wise its a bit fragile....i think if you just leave the microsd there and not taking it out like a see saw then it would last

Other Thoughts:

i used these to get rid of all my microsd to go into psps

Bottomline:

if youre after the cheapness [ i did because i am selling the psps] then get this one otherwise there are other ones here with better built quality for a couple of dollars more

Pros:

This is a very useful adaptor for avoiding Sony's proprietary and expensive memory stick format. It is cheap, does exactly what it says it does, and offers flexibility in changing and sharing SD cards among devices.
I use it with my Sony DSC W5 camera. It allows me to use a cheap 2GB MicroSD card that I can swap into other devices to view and share photos.

Cons:

None.

Bottomline:

If you have many devices supporting SD memory (i.e. with a MicroSD-SD adaptor), you'll be happy with this as it lets you reduce the number of different card formats you have to worry about.

Pros:

I find this a great product for those who do not want to keep buying different memory cards for their stuff such as cellphone, cameras, and others. I use a microsd with this for my sony camera

Cons:

THe build quality isnt that great, the bottom of the converter had a hole punctured, and now in order to get it to fit into my camera. I have to put the adapter first, and then insert the microsd

Other Thoughts:

Good product for the pric

Bottomline:

Grab it if you plan on using one dedicated microsd for everything.

Pros:

The SD card is very cheap now.
The thing that it can be used with PSP is very convenient.

Cons:

To use SDHC, I bought it.
There is no problem if it is SD usual up to 2GB.
But, SDHC cannot be used.
Was the reached thing wrong?
(I used the card of Transcend of 4GB with PSP. )

Bottomline:

It is very good in case of not being to use the card of SDHC.
When use with SDHC is bought for the purpose, it will be disappointed.

Pros:

Works perfectly fine with my PSP Phat, maybe a lil bit slow but that doesn´t bother me at all.
I tried it with a MicroSD 8Gb and works just fine.
Mine came with Kingston writing on it.
It´s really cheap a lot cheaper then buying cards from Sony.
Just buy it you really can´t be wrong for this price

Cons:

Only that its a bit slow, but for this price just fine.

Other Thoughts:

If you are a speedjunkie and normaly only have high speed ms duo cards maybe it could seem a bit slow to you.

Bottomline:

Just buy it you really can´t be wrong for this price

Pros:

I got this for my PSP. I had a 8GB Class 6 MicroSDHC card laying around so I thought I'd convert it into a MS Pro Duo. It works, definitely, without any problems. Just use your MicroSDHC reader, load it up with data (music, video, homebrew, etc) and you're good to go. Not much to know if you've used other adapters.

Cons:

It's super slow. It's about 5 times as slow as a 4GB Pro Duo and it's about 4 times as slow as the chip itself with a Usb 2.0 adapter. Game load times can take excess of 1 minute for some games. Doesn't work with HEN, unfortunately.

Other Thoughts:

I got the Kingston version. The site states that you get one of three or four brands.

Bottomline:

If you've got no other choice but to use an adapter like this, it doesn't get any cheaper. I've looked everywhere and most other places will charge you triple (at least) for a similar product. However, performance is almost crippling.

Pros:

Great simple adaptor that works as advertised. I tried 2Gb Toshiba and 8Gb Transcend cards and they worked just fine. Mine came branded Kingston for street cred. Works fine in my PSP3000. Solidly made. Works in all card readers I have tried.

Cons:

None! But I have not tested cards over 8Gb. Came without case, but who cares.

Other Thoughts:

Consider the amazing Photofast adaptor that takes one or two microsd cards:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16489

Bottomline:

Great way to make your own MS cards, but Photofast adaptor probably more useful.

Pros:

-Great adapter for the price
-Saves $$$ on buying memory sticks
-Don't have to pay the $ony tax
-Supports up to 8GB Cards
-Backwards compatible with regular MicroSD cards

Cons:

-There might be duds if you order more than 5
-MagicGate NOT SUPPORTED (But who needs it anyways when you are just taking JPEGS and loading ISO's off it?!!)

Other Thoughts:

If these cards did have better support for cards larger than 8GB then it would be a true money saver.

Bottomline:

If you don't want to pay the Sony tax, then get these. You pay none everytime you get a new MicroSDHC card and turn it into a MPSD card.

Pros:

I think the build quality is fine it works well for me there are some issues with it though.

Cons:

One of my 8GB patriot cards won't work the other one works fine both bought at same time But it is the cards fault not the adapter. On my PSP 2000 when I exit a game I have to do a soft reboot no biggy. Finlay the access times are a slower even in some game play.

Other Thoughts:

Mine says Kingston on them (cool)
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

Bottomline:

SD cost half that of Memory sticks you would be an artard not buy one. Hacker of the world unite ;P

Pros:

- Use the microSD card in your PSP with this adapter.
- Simply place the microSD adapter and the list is to use.
Supports cards from 1 Gb to 8 Gb SDHC.
Fully compatible with MagicGate technology.
- Valid also for PDA, phone or any device that Use Memory Stick Pro Duo
Works with: Sandisk Kingston the Japanese
- You can not work properly with the 8 GB microSDHC card;
- Works perfect in my PSP Slim.

Cons:

None!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other Thoughts:

None!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottomline:

The novelty is that, in addition, is also an adapter for Memory Stick Pro Duo, memory card developed for the compact models of cyber-shot, SONY camcorders and cell phones. It has 1 / 3 the size of conventional Memory Stick, and brings the most advanced technology in memory cards, ultra-compact. All you need connectivity in one product.

Pros:

This adapter worked out of the box, I inserted my 4GB Kingston MicroSD into the adapter and plugged it in into my PSP, it was formatted and ran straight away. Games do not lag, I have used CSO and ISO and both have been to a very good speed.

Cons:

Although it does not lag in game, or at all even, having performed tests with HD Tach this adapter does slow down a memory card. Here are results of some tests
4GB SDHC MicroSD (Kingson) ONLY:
Burst 20.3 MB/s
Sequential 20.1 MB/s
Average 20.0 MB/s
Random access 1.0ms
MicroSD in Adapter:
Burst 9.2 MB/s
Sequential 9.2 MB/s
Average 9.2 MB/s
Random access 1.0ms

Other Thoughts:

I would have preffered a faster adapter, are there any? I do not know :/

Bottomline:

Most definitely worth a buy if you're looking to use your MicroSD in your PSP or any other MS PRO Duo device, it's relatively fast and works perfectly.

Pros:

if you need it, just buy 1 or 2. you never now if a friend has to use it or what so ever.

Cons:

cons? yes there is not a brandname on this card.

Other Thoughts:

offer more of these cards including a SD(HC) card of 2 gb, 4 gb, or more...

Bottomline:

If you need it, get it. It's basic and easy to use. The construction is a little cheap, but then again, so are most things on this site (no offense, I'm just saying "you get what you pay for", and if you pay for a cheap thing, you get cheap quality). But, this does work fine, so I'd recommend it.

Pros:

It works fine for me. I used this + a duo to memory stick adapter so I can view photos on my sony tv (only accepts MS). It gets the job done fine.

Cons:

I paid $0.60 more when I got it just a few weeks ago :(

Bottomline:

If you need it, get it. It's basic and easy to use. The construction is a little cheap, but then again, so are most things on this site (no offense, I'm just saying "you get what you pay for", and if you pay for a cheap thing, you get cheap quality). But, this does work fine, so I'd recommend it.

Pros:

- Supports my 8GB Sandisk (sku.13305);
- Works with my Playstation Portable.

Cons:

- Very tight to insert and remove the tf card for the first times, it loosens up after a few tries;
- Very tight to fit in the PSP for the first times, it loosens up after a few inserts.

Other Thoughts:

I use it all the time with my PSP. Mine came with Kingston brand. Works as I expected. Fair enough. As everybody else said, this Kingston brand one is SLOW. It's not the tf card's fault, it's the adapter. Don't use it to update your PSP, you might end up bricking it.

Bottomline:

There's a plethora of other options now. They all came out just after I bought this one, so unfair. I'm sure ANY of the other adapters is better than this one. Personally, I'm looking forward to buy sku.16489, which combines TWO transflash cards into ONE memorystick pro duo. It will also work with only one tf card.

Pros:

Cheap
SDHC Compatible (up to 16GB)
PSP Compatible
Cheap, quick and easy way to get more capacity without having to buy expensive Memorry Sticks

Cons:

Looks and feels cheap, the plastic used to make this isn't the best.
Looks fragile
MicroSD card doesn't always fit perfectly

Other Thoughts:

As I said above, the microSD doesn't always fit, so depending on the case, it might delay the loading of the XMB on PSPs, have slow write/read speeds, crash the PSP (requiring a hard reset) or not work at all.
In my case at least, if I left the microSD sticking a little bit out of the adapter, it wouldn't cause any problems, and the XMB would load as fast as it would with an original MS. However the headaches it caused me until I figured that out...

Bottomline:

Worth it, even if only as a cheap alternative to expensive Memory Sticks.

Pros:

Convert a cheap MICRO SD into a MS pro duo.
It is cheap for the price + shipping.
Works perfectly on my 2GB without a problem.
Works perfectly on the PSP, and PSP slim so far without problems. The one I got was the kingdom brand so i donno if that makes any differences

Cons:

It feels like the two things that makes it stick together may fall apart. The quality of it seems OK but not super. Kind of slow on my 8 GB kingdom micro sd but hey its like 4$ so i can't say anything.
It is also king of hard to remove the micro sd card from the slot after you put it in.

Bottomline:

if you need a micro sd to MS pro duo this is a okay buy

Pros:

Cons:

the quality is a little flimsy but it works so its alright

Other Thoughts:

the price could be a little cheaper but come to think of it i havent seen another site that has a lower price so its ok

Bottomline:

the price could be a little cheaper but come to think of it i havent seen another site that has a lower price so its ok
buy it it you have an electronic device that uses mspd and you worry a bout the price, just buy a micro sd and stick it in this adaptor. you save a lot of money by doing so

Pros:

*it does what it is meant to do
*supports SDHC

Cons:

*weak plastic, don't take it out much!
*delay opening xmb(PSP)
*read speeds are slow, but write speeds are good

Other Thoughts:

*got the kingston
*got it for the sole purpose of playing on PSP
~6mb/s write
4-5 on psp writing from computer
*HAD reading issues some games worked, some didn't(I moved files around, reinserted, changed settings now works perfectly)
*first one was DOA, got replacement works
*may still have problems...
*used it with the scan disc 8gb from DX

Bottomline:

I'd rather get the 8gb $ony fakes, as I had many issues getting this to work (reformatting, moving files, etc)
read speeds are slow, there's even a delay opening xmb(PSP)

Pros:

- Allows you to use cheaper microSD cards in place of more expensive Memory Stick Duo
- I was able to use an SDHC card in my computer's memory card reader slot, which does not support SDHC, but supports Memory Stick Pro format
- Appears to be fine for everyday use (MP3s, video, etc)

Cons:

- Price was a bit steep at the time I bought it
- Seems to be some inconsistency between brands. I am using an EagleTec one, and it works perfectly, but note that another reviewer complains it doesn't work.

Other Thoughts:

EagleTec brand is working well with an 8GB microSD card in my Sony Ericsson P990i smartphone. Main uses are for MP3 playback and video watching.

Bottomline:

If you have a device that uses Memory Stick Pro Duo or Memory Stick Pro, this is definitely a good investment if you intend to purchase higher-capacity media in the future.

Pros:

Works perfectly. I was worried about the speed when I was deciding to buy it or not but I've been using it in my sony digital camera and the difference between it and my normal memory stick is completely un-noticeable.

Cons:

Came packaged in only a little zip lock type bag. Made the trip fine but I could definitely see one getting broke in the mail or someone not noticing it in their package as it's really small.

Bottomline:

I wanted to get a microSD card for my cell phone but knew I wouldn't use it much for that so having this allows me to use it in my digital camera. It worked out perfectly for me, highly recommend!

Pros:

It make your microsdhc (tested with 2gb PQI and 8gb sandisk ultra)works into PSP (you need to format it inside the psp to work).

Cons:

The speed decrease to 6mb/s. It´s make my card works like a fake card (and it´s not, it´s a genuine ultra Sandisk read/write 17/13mb/s tested on PC). I tested the PSP with genuine msduo ultra II (sandisk )8gb and the speed goes to 15mb/s!!! With microsdhc ultra + this adaptor, the speed don´t pass the 6mb/s.

Other Thoughts:

I think 5$ for this it kind of expensive..

Bottomline:

If you want speed, Buya genuine card for you device and forget, fake cards or generic adaptors. You will lose your money. If you don´t want speed, just buy this.

Pros:

-Works great in my PSP
-Read and write speeds with my sandisk 8gb microsdhc card seem to be about equal to a genuine 8gb ms pro duo(in psp over usb as I don't have a card reader).
-Great price and I like that I can buy it alone; everywhere else I find an adapter like this, it is bundled with a card, usually a 2GB card that I wouldn't need.

Cons:

-Sometimes has a little pause when first starting to read from card in my psp(may be the card though)

Other Thoughts:

I received the Kingston brand. The one I got has the microsd slot aligned in the middle as opposed to being set to the side.

Bottomline:

Great little adapter. Saved me a lot of money compared to an official Memory Stick Pro Duo or even a 3rd party MS Pro Duo.

Pros:

- The micro sd adapter Kingston does the work.
(El adaptador funciona.)

Cons:

When I insert the adapter, sometimes the psp doesn't detect the memory card. I don't know if there is a problem with the microSD card, it works fine on my computer.
(Cuando inserto el adaptador, a veces la psp no la detecta, No se si hay algun problema con la tarjeta de memoria la cual va bien en mi ordenador.)

Other Thoughts:

- I've only tested it with a transcend micro sdhc class 4.
(Solo lo he provado con el tipo de tarjeta citado.)

Bottomline:

- With, some little problems inserting the adapter, but works ok.
(Con algún problemita insertando el adaptador pero funciona bien)

Pros:

Sorry, this is the one time where I have nothing to say here except the price.

Cons:

The microSD doesn't slot in the adapter properly. So it ends up sticking out and I can't close my memory stick cover on my PSP.
Also, it doesn't read. Worst part of all. The microSD works perfectly fine on my (slightly broken) Kingston.

Other Thoughts:

Disappointed, that's all.

Bottomline:

Avoid the Eagletec brand unless you want a useless piece of a plastic to use your microSD with. Very disappointed this time around with the manufacturer that made this. I bought this because I need to replace my slightly broke Kingston, but it wouldn't even run. Argh.

Pros:

cheap
very practical to have microSD as a universal medium

Cons:

slow even when coupled with high speed microsd cards (2GB japan kingston, 4gb a-data turbo class6)
slightly thicker than a regular memory stick pro duo
there are many different types sent out. only some are sdhc compatible. (I got a replacement when I have sent a ticket)

Other Thoughts:

first adaptor did not work in a PSP with a SDHC micro SD.
medium slowdowns with CSO files on PSP (bearable, but very noticeable)

Bottomline:

convenient but slower than native memory stick pro duo

Pros:

received the Kingston one which works perfect in my PSP but only with original sandisk micro sdhc card class4 (8gb).if you have problems its most likely your memory card.

Cons:

a little fat for the psp slot (tight fit).

Other Thoughts:

i have tried 3x 4gb transcend class 6 memory cards 2 formatted ok & the 3rd would not format so i had to format using pc & copied the 2 hidden system files from one of the other 2 cards but must say all 3 cards had lots of slow downs,this why i only recommend using original Sandisk (bought mine from official sandisk reseller + 5 year warranty).

Bottomline:

this adaptor + sandisk 8gb is the perfect match.
fast delivery by DX.received in under 1 week same as with all of my previous orders. :)

Pros:

Works incredibly well in my PSP with the microSD cards.

Cons:

I cannot think of any, because this thing is really good at doing what it's supposed to do.
I guess a con would be that it cost me money?? LOL.

Other Thoughts:

This thing is truly awesome, I received a Kingston brand adapter so I can't rate the other adapters, but some people have reviewed the brand they received and they have not had any problems with them.

Bottomline:

If you have any devices that take MS Pro Duo
but don't like the price of the memory sticks, purchase this and get some inexpensive microSD cards.

Pros:

It exactly as fast as a regular pro duo would be.Works fine with my 8gb micro sdhc.There was no lag even with games with higher graphics.You Must format micro sd once inside adapter.

Cons:

Build quality isn't amazing but overall it works.Mine had some kind of small stain that looked like melted plastic.

Other Thoughts:

For the price its fantastic.I was able to receive it in 8 days.Much better than my previous older adapter.

Bottomline:

everything works as if you had an original pro duo.Very recommended for psp owners.

Pros:

- Works great with my Kingston microSDHC 4Gb and sony dSLR Alpha 100 with CF adaptor, no delays writing or while reading card.
- Excelent price and shipping speed.
- Received "kingston" brand.
- Good write/read speed

Cons:

- Fragile plastics
- not include protective case.

Other Thoughts:

My sony alpha failed formatting the card first time, but a card reinstall solved the problem.

Bottomline:

Replace expensive sony MS-Duos very well. microSD are much more cheap than original sony memory stick duo. Now I have only microSDs in all my portables.

Pros:

- CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP
- Work great on PSP, Camera.
- Test to work with Sandisk 8GB MicroSD HC, Kingston 4GB MicroSD HC, Sandisk 2GB MicroSD, 1GB and 512MB also work just fine.
- Build quality is just as good you can get.

Cons:

NOTHING...yep nothing at all.

Other Thoughts:

- Card does not come in seal packaging, so don't complain. also there's no such thing as genuine, this is a third party adaptor.

Bottomline:

If you like sony product, you better get this adaptor because sony memory card is damn expensive.
