Anyone use Express card slot as Bootcamp's partition?

[errin]

I've searched for the old threads and found that last year's SSD Express cards are unbootable.

And I also found that a lot of SSD Express cards came this year using Jmicron are bootable.

I found the threads that show users can boot Leopard by them but no one used to try Bootcamp on it.

So if there anyone using it please tell me what model is good for.

Thank you,

You have to use the internal drive; only on the Mac Pro can you use a separate drive for BootCamp.

The problem is that Windows doesn't play nice with booting over USB or Firewire. The Mac can boot from external drives (Macs or any other OS) just fine.

Depends. Most Express card storage device actually use the USB protocal which can't be used by windows (not easily anyway).

Except the thread starter mentioned the JMicron eSATA chips, so the ExpressCard SSDs he's talking about connect through eSATA, not USB.
