Datels 4GB Hard Drive vs Sandisks 4GB Memory Stick - Which is Best

**FOL** · July 21st, 2006, 02:21

I have a 4GB HD and 4GB MS, the Sandisk is so much faster.

I say take the sandisk, I had a datel 4gb HD for about a month and a half before it completely stopped functioning. Not to mention the slow loading times on the Hd (using the Eloader took forever to get the homebrew list to come up) and it being so bulky makes it impossible to fit in your pockets. (unless ofcourse you have extremely large pockets or a Hoodie with a front pocket =/)

I'd would go wit hthe Memory Stick. But i would proballl\y never use 4 gigs worth of stuff, so if it were me i would buy the 2 gig if i had the money

Even if the HD was $50 dollars I wouldn't buy one its to big and bulky.

Memory Card.

There is really no contest. The MS is clearly better than the HD. The only reason the MS is more expensive is because Datel new it was better and lowered the price of the HD just so it could sell.

Memory Stick of course. It's faster, more reliable and let the psp keep it's elegance.

Anyway for those guys who speak of a 20Gb HDD I can only say.. you forgot the 4GB limit of our PSPs? unless sony does something about this in it's next firmwares (which would mean UPDATE!!) a 20GB HDD would be useless, and then if you upgraded there would be little to no reason for having such a huge storage capacity since there would be no homebrew.

the ms of course dumb question

I havent tried the memory card so I cant compare the two.

I've got the datel drive and it serves its purpose well, everything does now work on it (including the killer app Devhook).

Datels is quite a bit cheaper, plus the battery pack you get with it lasts twice as long as the normal PSP one, which cant be bad when ur playing games on the go!

If (or should I say when?) the HD does die, I'd probably get the memory card seeing as its also dropped in price now.

I've had no probs yet with the HD though, defo one of my best buys from ebay!

Hopefully the UP Modchip or DEVhook will let us use later firmwares and beat the pesky 4gb limit!
