Ratoc's REX-EX30S external SATA ExpressCard

by Ryan Block, posted Mar 17th 2006 at 11:24AM

The novelty of your average ExpressCard peripheral is quickly wearing on us, but before it gets entirely played we figured we'd toss an external SATA (eSATA) ExpressCard 34 adapter your way. Hope you're not expecting something crazier than what Ratoc's REX-EX30S SATA II device features (i.e. 3gbps, NCQ, hot-swap capable), because it is what it is. And it'll set you back $90 whenever it starts shipping in Japan later this month.

Also on the following page http://www.ratocsystems.com/services/driver/sata.html there are downloadable MAC OS X software drivers for the REX-EX30S and other Ractoc products.

Unfortunately, the page is in Japanese and there seems to be some sort of password or verification required. Since I can't read Japanese well enough to figure out what they want I continue to have an entirely useless PCI card for my Mac. I am VERY disappointed that this product is STILL without english language support after two years. Guys, do you want to sell these to Americans or not??!
