Laptops that do have card slots have ExpressCard/34. <BR/><BR/>However, the only real possible use of the slot on my MacBook Pro for me would be either an eSata connection (for the higher bandwidth) or a 3G cellular data card--neither of which I need.<BR/><BR/>USB 2.0 is fine, but I do find that my FireWire 800 port is useful for external disk access, since it has enough bandwidth to handle 7200 RPM drives at full burst mode.ebeamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922162386591434891noreply@blogger.com
