SanDisk Rapid GX Increases PSP Data Transfer Rate
5 Comments Published by britblogger 3 years, 8 months ago in News, PSP.
We all know what it’s like to upload a 700MB movie onto our PSP’s memory stick – 20 to 30 minutes of thumb twiddling… that is until now. SanDisk have announced a nifty little gadet that allows you to slide your PSP memory stick into your home computer’s USB slot, allowing for significantly faster data transfer.
Everyone who owns a PSP knows that the 32 MB memory stick included in the basic PSP pack is not really cutting it if you want to take full advantage of Sony’s handheld console. If you like to use your PSP for anything more than just playing games, sooner or later you will have to buy a memory stick with bigger storage capabilities.
SanDisk has already been selling 256 MB, 512 MG, 1 and 2 GB Memory sticks for a while and has now launched the Memory Stick Pro Duo with a 4 GB capacity available at several stores for around $200.
In July SanDisk will launch the Rapid GX Memory Stick Pro Duo, which will allow you to transfer data to and from the PSP a lot faster. According to this Gamespot review about PSP accessories, the first Rapid GX card will be available in July and will have 1 GB storage.
This is great news for people like me who spends about 3 hours each weekend swapping and changing my movies on my 2GB sticks. Sweet!

HAHAHA type-o: SanDisk has already been selling 256 MB, ((512 MG)), 1 and 2 GB Memory sticks
Anyway, this is pretty cool, seeing as my birthday is in july and i was gonna get a 2gb memory stick for movies.
I don’t think I would spend money to save time stransfering stuff to and from my PSP. Ever.
That wasn’t a typo, dicer. Haven’t you ever heard of megagigs? XD
On the actual subject of this article, I think I agree with Mitchyd. If I had the money, I might buy it, but at this time, it would be a waste.
I have something like this. It was $10. Much more convenient than usb mode from the psp.
my mistake – will amend the error ASAP. :)
I think this is a great idea – I can’t see it selling for much more than $30/$40. and if anything’s going to help me save time filling up my 2×2GB sticks, then I’m in.
