Hey,

there I want to buy a expresscard, but which? Are there differences?

Your wrote:
We use LaCie D2 Quadra drives connected to the laptop via an eSATA ExpressCard 34.

I want to buy this:
- http://www.puremac.de/_py_Zubehoer-Erwe ... e47d9792a6
- http://www.alternate.de/html/solrSearch ... uctDetails

but there are also:
- http://cgi.ebay.de/eSata-II-ExpressCard ... 439f3efec5
maybe too slow?
- http://www.alternate.de/html/product/Co ... #tabberBox
maybe only for windows?

It think my choice is correct, but maybe some could tell me some differences or some good info.

Thx Axel

Okay, nobody knows or writes it down...

I take:
- Delock Expresscard > 2 x eSATA II
- Revoltec Alu Book Edition 2 (with 1,5 TB HD)

and my MBP 3.1 - 2,4GHz - 4 GB - ....

Here my first experiences:
After plug everything together no HD-Icon appears.
I have to install a driver and to reboot. (Oh my god, I have to close everything....longtime ago...)

so I clean up firefoxtabs and so one and come back ;)

edit:
have to install a second driver because the first doesn´t work alone...
so everything is fine and I can beginn some test...

Now I have two Revoltec Cases with Samsung Disk.
Put it together to a Raid 0 with apples diskutil.
Then I use xBench and AJA System Test to get some
information about the speed. Both tells 120 MB/sec.

I think that good, but I have some problems to get
the disk working. I don´t know which is the best way
to plug that on. So I tries some ways...
First put the expresscard into our Macbook Pro, then
start both disk. After both disk are ready plug the cable
to your card and then into your disk. Mostly it works.

Are other card an disk easier to plug-in?
The expresscard has hotPlug ...

bye Ax
