Lexar EX16GB-431 16GB ExpressCard External Solid state disk (SSD) - Retail

It has a lot of space and isn't too costly. It fits perfectly in my Toshiba Laptop. It's just about the only worth-while ExpressCard I could find. Works perfectly on my Vista, XP, & Ubuntu 8 ; I use it for backing up my documents and music, etc. It has...

The back up program crashes if i add/remove any other removable storage device (like my USB HDD). It's kinda slow as well

Pretty decent storage capacity despite it's size. Fits perfectly flush on my Macbook Pro, and runs very smoothly. I can fit a generous amount of songs for my sets along with all of my "crates" stored within. This is great for the literal On-the-go DJ...

As with the other reviews, the write times are a bit slower, but that all depends on how you use it. I really don't have an issue with the write times since all I do is store music on it, and let the reading do the rest of the work, which worked out...

There was a small issue with the card sticking out when inserted (about 1/16 th of an inch). This was not an operational issue, but I wondered if it might catch on something and damage the card.

Is easy to install and Windows Vista

Copy to and from is slow, try to setup some VM in this and they perform worse than in a 5400 rpm disk drive

According to support in Lexaristan, the ExpressCard SSD has read/write speeds of 15MB/s read and 14-17MB/s write. This seems odd, and kind of slow. Numerous CF cards on Newegg have much higher read/write speeds. Unfortunately, very little support...
