    Can anyone recommend a good eSata card for my Dell laptop?
    I would preferably like one that can stay in the notebook and is flush with the case, rather then sticking out of the side - as tis would mean I have to remove it every time I put the notebook in its case!

    I don't think one exists that is flush with the case (ExpressCard).

    That is the PCMCIA version, but the same seller has the expresscard version as well (just one port)

    I can confirm it is flushmount, I have one (of the expresscard versions), works fine.

    Thanks for the help V_C
    One port would do me fine anyway, as its just for my external HDD ;)
