Express34 and CardBus Host Cards



   Looking for top quality Express34 and Cardbus cards? Finally, speed and power comes to portable computers with high speed Express34 slots on new notebook computers. We are contantly on the look out, testing and looking for best performance products to add to this list. If you don't see it here, send me an email and we'll see what we can do.

   In Express34 SATA Host Cards there are quite a few brands out there. All of them are basically the same though. Built on the same Silicon Image chipset and using the same drivers and branded with a different sticker. In testing they all appear to give the same great results. These cards support Port Multiplication and we realized speeds of over 160 MB/sec were possible using striped RAID on a MacBookPro! Unbelievable. This type of speed finally makes real time HD possible on a portable computer.

  With Lycom filling the need for a Cardbus SATA Card that supports Port Multiplier technology, our cup is finally full (overflowing really, this has been long time in waiting and desp[erately needed). This fine 2 Port SATAII card uses the same chipset as PCI-X 4 port host cards, and as such, costs a little more since that is a high end chip set. But it is an excellent choice to add huge speedy storage capability to your portable cardbus euipped computer.

  Lycom also has provided us a superior Firewire 800 card. With 2 FW800 ports and one standard FW400 port, it will give you sufficient connectivity for any needs. Unlike Cardbus SATA external drives, your powerbook is fully capable of booting from a drive attached via this Firewire card.
