eSata expresscard for my MacBook Pro?

[logicpro7]

I am looking for a eSata expresscard for my MacBook Pro.

I have a problem with looping my G Drive external through my firewire soundcard due to the single bus on the mbp. It just doesn't like it.

What eSata expresscard adaptor would you recommend so i can hook my G Drive upto it?

Thanks.

Here is a rather lengthy thread, but as there have been many 17" MBP iterations and different iterations behaving differently, it might be worth the read: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/678101/

Ahh thanks, i have a mid 2009 17" mbp. From what i have briefly read am i correct in thinking there are problems with this model and expresscard adaptors?

Yep. I thought about getting one too, for my mid-2009 17" MBP and in the end just let it be, as there seemed to be too many problems and I settled on a FW800 enclosure for my old HDD which has been replaced by an SSD.
