    Hey guys,

    I recently got a Seagate GoFlex external drive with a USB 3.0 interface. I'm looking for a USB 3.0 ExpressCard for my laptop. Based on my research, my main concern is the output power of the USB slots on the ExressCard. I would like to be able to plug in and use the external drive without having to connect the ExpressCard to another power source. Does anyone know of such an ExpressCard?

    Thanks in advance,
    Anirudh
