Tips & Warnings
It is better to have too much memory than not enough.
Visit the memory usage chart at SanDisk.com for the total amount of photos, songs and video clips that can be stored (see Resources below).
Make sure you have a reliable virus protection program on every computer you use.
Always back up your work!
Make sure your device is ejected by opening the small icon at the bottom of your screen. Try to purchase more memory if you are using your memory stick to primarily store pictures or video.
Keep your SanDisk memory stick away from heat and liquids.
