Troubleshooting's fundamentally easy -- just change the variables. If that Sony USB key seems bad, does it work on other computers? What about other Sony devices on your own computer?

Did it begin malfunctioning right after an update?

Did you unplug it before ejecting it from the Finder? The Mac OS may address an attached storage device at any time without being asked to by the user. The good part is that the Mac always knows what's attached; the bad part is that you could yank it while data is being written, which could corrupt the device.
