Anyone Tried Lacie USB 3.0 Expresscard With A 2010 17" MacBook Pro?

[mrwonkers]

I ended up selling my 2010 17" as I found expresscard for either esata or usb 3 to be fairly useless. I now have a 2011 MBP with thunderbolt [which will at some point poo poo all over anything expresscard could theoretically offer], until some hdd cases come out to make use of TB I'll be using FW800.

"With 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions, Thunderbolt I/O technology lets you move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. Two 10-Gbps channels on the same connector mean you can daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices and a display, without using a hub — and without reducing performance." http://www.apple.com/au/thunderbolt/

ExpressCard on MacBook Pro - 2.5 Gbps
Thunderbolt on MacBook Pro - 10 Gbps

I bought the lindy card for my 2011 17". I tried using it with the lacie drivers and I am getting kernel panics left right and centre. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, did you get your 2011 Macbook pro to work with Linday card?
