    Neither. I did not know about eSATA when I got it.

    Or is it all of the above? I bought it in a hurry when my previous
    laptop died. I also did not know about ExpressCard 34, which it does
    have. And when I said neither above, I had already acquired a nine pin
    serial card which works. I did not realize how many cards exist.
    Apparently everything there ever was or will be, at least until they
    change everything again.

    How close is ExpressCard 34 to being "internal"? This is the same label
    as my nine pin card. It claims;
    "Supports Serial ATA Generation 2 Transfer Rate of 3.0Gbps" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220335207046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    And the current eSata HDD cases seem to all be USB also.

    So we shall see.
