Similar in appearance to a stick of gum, its length is about the same as that of an AA battery used in small portable devices such as headphone players. The shape of Memory Stick is ergonomically designed for easy handling. And, unlike other flash memory cards, it is easy to distinguish the front from the back and the top from the bottom of a Memory Stick to prevent misuse or accidental loss of data. Its small size also allows development of compatible products that are compact and portable.

By attaching an adaptor, the compact Memory Stick Duo media designed especially for mobile products becomes the same size as a standard Memory Stick.
