Any of the cards that are only one port wide (or two ports stacked on top of eachother like = not like --) should work fine in your macbook pro.

All I can say is ... wow.

the e-sata business is totally new to me, so my mind is blown haha.


Would you reccomend this type of set up for me who wants to use an external drive for all media? I guess the speed of the e-sata is what is going to make the set up run more smoothly.

Can I boot from e-sata? Since I want to use CCC?
