Use for the Express Card Slot

[steppinthrax]

I have a laptop with pretty much everything

Fingerprint
TPM
sd card reader


Just trying to find what I can put in the express slot. I'm thinking of getting a GPS card or something like that. What's a good use for it?

I would find a USB 3 card such as this to be very useful:

I think those Bluetooth express card mice are pretty cool. They store/charge in the slot and even though they are a bit weird to use I think they're much better than most touch pads.

USB3 or eSATA expansion ports

You can use it for an external discrete GPU.

Yeah I have bluetooth, don't really see a need for usb3.0 at this moment, is there much out for usb 3.0?

The main thing for me would be high speed backup to a USB external drive.

I too have Bluetooth, Fingerprint, SD Card, and eSATA. I don't need GPS - have a good Garmin unit plus Smartphone.

A video Expresscard might be entertaining.

Could get an express card SSD...

External GPU if you have a need for any mobile gaming.

Edit: SHAMELESS PLUG

This. I picked up a WD Passport external the other week. My desktop has USB 3.0 - compared with my old IDE in a case USB 2.0 drive, the Windows write speed went from 18-20 MB/s to about 35-50 MB/s. It could even be faster, but I haven't tried with the stock cable (from reviews, some USB 3.0 cables are mediocre). It's made me think about getting a USB 3.0 expresscard for my laptop that will sit flush with the slot.
