I would really like some manufacturer to develope an eSATA Express Card adapter for these new MacBooks. How about it? Anyone know of someone with this product currently? It would awesome to have that throughput with multiple external eSATA drives (for audio and video of course). I'm pretty sure that the new Express Card format allows for a larger amount of designated bandwidth than the old PCMIA card slot. I would love to have a Raptor drive in a eSATA case right beside me whilst editing! Much faster than firewire 800.....
Sorry to bust your disapointment... but I find it hard to believe that no manufacturer will at some point make a firewire 800 ExpressCard/3 4 slot card.. let alone a card with eSATA connection, allowing for even greater throughput than a firewire 800 connection would provide. If the market is there (which if you think as I do.. it is) and if the technology allows for it to happen (which I believe ExpressCard does allow for it) than I bet doughnuts to dollars that it will eventually happen. I just hope it happens sooner than later.
