    I have an Acer 8204WLMi and I'm going to hook up an external SATA harddrive through the card slot on the laptop. I know that the 1.5gbps cards will fit just like any other PCMCIA card:

    But this one is faster:

    Will it fit in the laptop?


    Also, what is the maximum speed that data can even go throught the card slot? If it is only 400mbps then theres no point, might as well use USB.

    Thanks
