Boot some MacBook Pros via an ExpressCard solid state drive
64GB? and fast? and bootable? Can you elaborate?
Boot some MacBook Pros via an ExpressCard solid state drive
The ExpressCard slot does *not* use a USB2 interface, at least based on my testing. The card I bought has a USB2 interface, and if I plug that through the USB2 port on the Mac and test, I get read/write speeds that are very low: 32MB/sec and 19MB/sec, as I recall.

Hi Rob,
Boot some MacBook Pros via an ExpressCard solid state drive
Agreed -- no point to do this if the card you buy is using the USB interface in the ExpressCard slot. I linked to the one I bought in the hint itself -- the 48GB FileMate drive. Buyers should do their research, though, and make sure the read/write figures for the drive reflect a true ExpressCard PCI connection, and that the drive will be bootable in their Mac. |
