USB and PCIe received major speed upgrades, which means that the ExpressCard, which uses these two interfaces as underlying technologies, will be much faster again: PCMCIA today said that version 2.0 of the ExpressCard standard has been finalized and will provide 10x faster data transfer speeds than before. Why you should care, you ask? Simple: Imagine cheap external cards acting as SSDs and transferring data at 500 Megabyte/s (MB/s). Convinced?
