What are you using your ExpressCard slot for?

[benlangdon]

I am going to get the LaCie FW800 expresscard port for mine. The new MBP only has one FW port and I need at least two for when I am editing/capturing video.

daisy chain?

Mine was pretty much plug and play. I got it for 40 bucks, some unknown brand called Manhattan. And i did some research, found that it was using the Silicon Image 3132 chipset, went to the the website and installed the latest drivers and plugged my express card in and it worked perfectly fine. I was worried at first because the card only came with windows xp drivers and no where did it say that Mac support was offered. But all these cards use the same chipset anyway

Transfered a 23gb Batman Begins 1080p file from external harddisk onto macbook pro in blazing fast speed. I have to go do an actual timing of it. But it just absolutely blows USB 2.0 out of the water.

xbench it and post it

To answer the question above, the Belkin Card Reader still sits flush on the Late 2008 Unibody Macbook Pro. I never would have expected it not to, but I now have your photo proof. Enjoy.

I will emphasize again that any inserted SD cards do not sit flush but protrude a little less than 1 cm. Still, the ability to read SD cards is always and unobtrusively installed in my MBP.

yup mine looks the same except they are on both sides
