I have an HP dv5220us Pavilion notebook. It has one cardbus slot and one express card slot. I want to add an esata card to it.
1) Does it make any difference whether I get a cardbus or an express card card (it matters to me because the choice determines which side of the notebook I can install it in)?
Some Googling gave me the impression that express cards are able to go at 3GB/sec while cardbus will only do 1.5. Didn't find any cards from big manufacturers that said they'd work on Linux.
2) I need one that will work under kubuntu karmic Linux. Any suggestions?
I need to get this straightened out before I order because places like Newegg have restocking fees.
Thanks.

Found a single port version: APIOTEK: Product P/N: EC-ES03I, but it's single port and from a company I've never heard of.
