eSata Card w/ Macbook Pro
Hey guys,
I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro that still has the PCMCIA slot (pre-unibody design). I purchased a $12 eSata card from Monoprice.com and it seems to work really well with Pro Tools, haven't had any weirdness happen as of yet with my minimal testing - fast access speed, best I've ever had on my laptop. The only thing I notice is that I cannot boot from any drive connected to the card, nor will it even go to the boot menu if the card is inserted, so I need to make sure it's ejected each time on startup.
Is this normal? What cards have others used with success?
Just have to make sure to disconnect the drives before pulling the card each time, and also I have to be careful not to bump it as it ejects easily that way. Otherwise, pretty solid purchase for 12 bucks!
Thanks everyone,
Sig
