Episode #75
I’d really like to make the switch to the Mac, and purchase a Macbook Pro, however, I would like to add an express card for USB, to provide more USB ports. However, I am having a hard time finding cards that are Mac compatible. Do you have any recommendations?

$100 (2GB), $130 (4GB), $239 (8GB)
Available in 2, 4 and 8 GB sizes, the ECHO Card is a credit card-sized portable hard drive with a flip-out USB 2.0 connector. It comes preloaded with a link to the latest versino of the backup software that will automatically run when plugged into a Windows machine — you can still use it as an external USB drive even if you choose not to use the backup. The flexible USB dongle seems like it’s a bit fragile, but exercise caution and the ECHO Card does the job.Rover ECHO Card
