Usefulness Of The Expresscard Slot

[epu]

I've been using this exclusively for SSDs with much success. The speed and reliability is there (depending on the SSD you use). I know many are using it for CF Card access and to add expansion by way of eSata connectivity, or USB 3 (for those Thinkpads who don't have them). What are you using yours for?

MY SSD is SLC and 16GB and probably one of the most reliable on the market (MTron). There are companies like Photofast, who make Expresscard SSDs in the 128GB range, SLC and has high transfer speeds (100 MB R/W +), such as this one - http://translate.google.com/translate?j ... Fex54.html

Thing is, they are almost impossible to get in the U.S.!

Anyway, what are you using your Expresscard Slot for?

Can you boot off of that Expresscard SSD? I'd guess not ...

I sure CAN boot from that Expresscard slot @ HarryC, particularly w/this Expresscard SSD. It's been done long before I purchased it.

Sandisk SD/MS/MMC Card Reader (The T60 is one of the last Thinkpads to come without built-in card reading capabilities).
