    Are there any 54mm SSD expresscards? I don't think there is but I am just asking to see if anybody knows of any.

    There are since I recall discussing them weeks/months ago in the SSD thread. At the time, the SSDs for ExpressCards weren't really developed and fairly slow, making them pretty useless as storage media. I'm not sure of any recent developments. Did you try searching the site for that?

    i didnt know they they offered expresscard 54 ssds? i know they em for expresscard 34. and yea, one can only imagine how ugly it will be to use a EC34 card in a EC54 slot with a hole.

    now just imagine a world when that expresscard 54 slot is replaced by a proper bay for 1.8" ssds.
