    Hi Guys,

    I have noticed that the eject mechanism on the expresscard slot in my m1330 is quite poor. Unfortunately, the other day when I was plugging in my eSATA external drive into the eSATA expresscard, the card just ejected out without me actually having to eject it.

    Unfortunately, i have the x34 card on an x54 slot, and was wondering if the reason for the easy ejection mechanism is a result of that. For those that have x54 cards, do these cards easily get ejected as well?

    On a side note, if anyone has an x54 eSATA card, would you mind posting pics of it plugged into your notebook. I am really contemplating to get a x54 card, and was wondering how much it will stick out.

    Thanks for the help!!
