ExpressCard
The computer is equipped with a single ExpressCard slot into which any ExpressCard device that meets industry standards, either manufactured by TOSHIBA or another vendor, can be installed. The slot supports hot plug connection and utilizes the PCI Express interface that supports the reading and writing of data at a theoretical maximum rate of 2.5Gbps.
When inserted in the ExpressCard slot, some ExpressCards may block the optical disc drive tray and prevent it from opening. If this occurs please remove the ExpressCard each time you wish to open or close the optical disc drive tray.

The Windows
Do not insert an ExpressCard while the computer is in Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode as you may find that some cards do not work properly.
