FileMate SolidGO 3FMS4D48M-WR 48GB ExpressCard 34 with Mini USB 2.0 External Solid State Drive (SSD)

Fast, fits in ExpressCard/34 slot (otherwise unused connection on my laptop)

Rather expensive. Gets warm, very warm. Not particularly stable (mechanically) in an EC/54 slot, though that is not the card's fault (some companies make attachments that can help with this)

Faster than any other flash drive of its kind

Runs hot. Have now had two die

good speed on both usb(30-36mbps) and express card(85mbps)

very short life..just died unresponsive ; sent it for rma, and will be getting a replacement. but even not sure how much the replacement gonna last ; used it like occasionally ; gets warmer as compared to other drives

Blazing fast ; Reliable ; Simple ; Purchased during rebate offer

Hit or miss, but worth the effort

Fits into an expressCard slot

Runs extremely hot (well documented by others) ; Not that fast ; Poor return per ; Not returnable to newegg ; Longevity undetermined (see other reviews)

While it works it performs great and lets you get some use out of the seldom used expresscard slot

Data gets corrupted often, requires a reformat. Eventually even that didn't work. I sent mine in for RMA more than 2 weeks ago and can't get anybody on the phone or any idea as to when I will get a replacement. Support doesn't respond by email and...

I'm doing a lot of graphic/video work, and installed it in my macbook pro 15" 2008. It's been working wonders and is much faster than my original 7200 RPM. So far, so good. Excellent purchase as Photoshop, Bridge and Ae now start considerably faster...

Size of course. You really have to limit the amount of apps you're using, move your user folder to the hard drive (options in accounts for osX), and eventually use a product like xslimmer. After an improper BootCamp setup, the computer sometimes does...

Expresscard format,plug and use. Faster than regular 7200rpm HDD laptop drive.Great idea for MBP 17".I liked it as long as it worked

Only 3 weeks and it was blown!! Had to reinstall Snow Leopard.Could not do it for 3 days,because I did not have an install dvd with me ; Reformatted=no good

Wow.. after spending a few hours figuring how to get my dell to boot to an expresscard with a BIOS that lacks that feature, the work finally paid off! This card is at least 2-3 times faster than my 320gb drive ; My fruity OS used to take 1:30 seconds...

None so far, but what do I know I have only had it for less than a day. Also few laptops have the option to boot expresscards, so look into that first. If you are lucky great, if not then you better know how to manipulate bootloaders to get into the OS...

Small

Purchased a solid-stated drive for increased reliability after having issues with bad sectors on my previous 2 hdds. I was using the drive internally in the PC card slot of a laptop. I transferred all files and OS to the FileMate drive after receiving...
