High speed = 'MS Pro' and 'MS Pro Duo'. They really do have quite fast transfer speeds, btw.

High speed memory like you can see on here. (As opposed to this
--they are both MS Pro's.)

I guess this is the difference:
-- Designed to support read and write speeds up to 80 Mbps on high speed enabled devices
vs
-- Minimum write speeds of 15 Mbps on Memory Stick PRO™ enabled devices optimized with 4-pin parallel interface

Of course one is saying minimum and one is saying maximum, so I still don't necessarily know where "typical use" would lie... Depends on the device, I guess.

According to the Sonystyle.com page, the Pro has the fast speeds, something like 80 MB per sec or minute.

This is "High Speed Pro" versus "Pro." Non-pro indeed doesn't state much specifically, but presumably Pro would be faster.

The other advantage of the Pro is that it works in more extreme temperatures.

That is non-DUO versus DUO. Non-Pro/non-DUO ones do not mention appear to mention temperature specifically, so it would be guesswork. (But again, Pro would presumably be better.)

I thought the main selling point of the Pro versus non-Pro was that you didn't have to flip it? Or was that simply something that they got around over time?

So you have to use that adapter thing and slide it into the MS slot on the reader.

Or the CF adaptor. Or this wacky thing.

The flippable Memsticks were non-Pro, they were called "Select"
