What is ExpressCard Technology?

The ExpressCard standard is developed by (The Personal Computer Memory Card International Association; PCMCIA), use serial data interface to substitute for PCI parallel bus interface of PC card. This standard can speed up the development of mobile telecommunication, data storage, I/O, multimedia and pluggable card and brings more strength to the new generation desktop and notebook, with smaller size, higher speed, lower cost and less power.

Any system that incorporate PCI Express and USB will be able to take advantage of the ExpressCard standard since ExpressCard technology uses the latest PCI Express and USB 2.0 interface to connect its application into the system.
