It was a little over 3 years ago since ExpressCard started to show up on laptops. While there's still a handful of cards available, PCMCIA - the group backing the standard - now plans to update ExpressCard to interface with PCI Express 2.0 at 5Gb/s and also surprisingly, USB 3.0 (aka. Super USB) at 4.7Gb/s. The major benefit of ExpressCard is the direct connection to both PCI Express system bus and USB so that OEMs can design USB devices in ExpressCard form factor as to minimize the cost and to speed up time-to-market. Compatibility with current ExpressCard products will remain. PCMCIA expects to finish ExpressCard 2.0 when USB-IF is done with USB 3.0 final specs, which is due by the end of June 2008. - Get SIIG USB to ExpressCard Adapter - card reader - Hi-Speed USB now for $35.99 at Dell Small Business
