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

[Voltron]

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!!)

1.) 8GB PRO Duo's are coming!!! Until they are available, we can't do any tests to try and create a workaround to the 4GB limit.

2.) DevHook may save us with this issue in the future.

3.) Custom Firmware! Perhaps with custom firmware, we can set the PSP to have a 60GB limit instead of 4GB, lol. Its just a theory. We shall see what the future holds.

I really think that an external or wireless storage device will be released in the future for the PSP. And I also think the PSP will be able to store content on the PS3 HDD and stream wirelessly. (Good for storing all those PSOne ROMS eh??? lol)

Just to make things clear I AM a homebrew fan and I know that eventually we'll be able to bypass these limitations.. HOWEVER we're not supposed to talk about what MAY happen but about what NOW is the best choice between 4gb MS or a 4GB datel.

I choose the 4gb memory stick. Then again i dont spend more then 4 houers in a row playing the psp. Thats what platforms are for. So no need for the extra battery life. Plus its to bulky.

If your out and about (I travel long distances on trains quite regularly) then you do need a battery that will last a lot longer. I was used to a GBA before I got my PSP and the battery on those machines just goes on and on with out charging.

I agree with you though about it being to bulky though.

Baboon I agree about the GBA mi DS Lite stinks with its battery power. Play a couple of rounds of YU-GI-OH and dead.

well the memory stict is far better becuz its not at all big a bulky like the HDD faster transfers and iv heard a few cases that the HDD has problems leting you play yuor homebrew and that there is grounds enough to say the memory stick is far better so there fore i say memory stick hands down and imma get a 1 gig mem stick in a few days i would buy the 4 gig but i just barely got the money for a 1 gig plus the 4 gig will be sumtin for me to buy later or maybe sumtin to hint around to people for a b day gift lol

100% memory stick!

the external drive is not very durable and the transfer cable seems to break very easy.

the memory stick is smaller and no so bulky + it is so much faster.

I wouldn't say it breaks that easily I've had one for quite awhile and it's taken some abuse (especially around that area) and it still works perfectly! The only problem with 4GB hard drive is that movies do stutter no matter what you do, some homebrew takes like 2X the time to load, and Metal Slug Arcade stutters like a crazy fool (But not on the NeoGeo CDZ emulator at least :P).

So yeah I'd definitely go for the 4GB Sandisk that is sweet! The only advantage the Datel HD has is the 2X battery that is really nice thing to have.

Well, as for what concerns batteries, we can still use those extra powerful they sell now (I think I saw something interesting on lik sang, maybe 4800?).

OMG have you all been dropped as children??? C'Mon people the Datel 4GB HD is AWSOME!!!

Seriously, look at what's all going for it!!!

1. It's Bulky - Easier to spot when someone steals ur PSP!
2. It consumes more energy - Yo we need to play less video games anyway!
3. It has moving parts - Without mechanical failure technicians would be out of a job!
4. It’s slower then a MS - Teaches you patience!
5. It’s cheaper – Yo now you can buy 6 more meals at McDonalds!

Now I am gonna get the Sandisk 4GB Ultra II (gotta rob a bank first), but the only reason I am going with that one is because my Uncle works for Choice Luggage which is affiliated with Tumi which is affiliated with Hasbro which has an office near another building affiliated with sandisk... Gotta support the family ya know.
