[TriLUG] Laptop Hard Disk expansion

[Hariharan Gopalan]

I needed to upgrade my laptop's hard disk capacity, thinking of getting a SATA PCMCIA and an external SATA Hard disk. wonder if the performance would be better than the internal 4200 RPM hard disk. Though the external Hard disk would be 7200RPM, and on a serial ATA, would the PCMCIA be a limitation to getting the full benefit of the SATA? 
 
also, was wondering if I would be able to boot off the external hard disk, that would be cool.
 
any comments please?
thanks
Hari
