    Hi all!

    Could you please give me your thoughts on what the best method would be to add eSATA support to my Dell XPS m1530? The transfer speeds are WAY faster than USB.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! If I have "Rep Power : 0" then does it matter at all if I rep you?

    He won't get points, but it's the thought that counts! :D

    Yeah, express card would be your only choice here. It kind of sucks they skimped on eSATA and gigabit ethernet. :confused:
