    Could you be a little more specific? Your question doesn't make any sense.

    You need an eSATA expresscard. NewEgg and others sell them.

    BUMP. Any one can answer me ?
    Now I know.
    If you buy an expresscard with esata you will have transfer something like 300MB/s so better is USB 400.

    It should be the same as original SATA. SATA is 3Gbit/s or something and an ExpressCard x1 lane will give about 2.5 Gbit/s so the limitation will be the physical hard drive rather than any connectors.

    Depending on the hard drive, the transfer rate should be 60-90 megabytes per second.
