Serial ATA on a Macbook Pro
If you have heavy duty disk space/access time needs and wanted to use a portable Mac, you were limited to Firewire. Not any more. Now, thanks to FirmTek, you can use Serial ATA (SATA) drives with your Macbook Pro. FirmTek has released their SeriTek/2SM2-E ExpressCard adapter, which allows you to connect SATA drives to your Macbook Pro and achieve transfer rates up to 3 gigabits per second per port (the adapter contains 2 ports).
This makes the possibility of doing high end video on your Macbook Pro a reality. The SeriTek/2SM2-E ExpressCard adapter is available now for $119. The adapter works with Mac, Windows and Linux.
