Same goes for ExpressCard, at least the notebook I recently bought doesn't have any other interface slots other than USB. And yes, you should be able to get <10ms latency and reliable performance with USB. I'm using FireWire too on my main system but I'm thinking about selling the unit and getting a USB device like the Presonus 1818VSL so I can use it on my notebook too. The notebook itself is a custom built one: http://linux.autostatic.com/2013/05/31/new-notebook-bto-pbook-17cl45-gt650-i7-quad Regards, Jeremy > Right now I'm leaning towards a Lenovo IdeaPad U310 core i7, with 500GB > HD + 24GB SSD, the idea would be to install the system on the SSD and > have the data sit on the slower HD: > http://laptops.dk/product_info.php?cPath=203&products_id=4875 > Any reasons this would be a bad/good choice? >
