One of the few things holding me back from upgrading my laptop is that most of the newer laptops don't have removable hard drives. One of the things I like about my current laptop is the ability to pop out the hard drive and put it in my pocket if I am going to be away from the laptop (the laptop is replaceable, the data isn't). A possible solution is the IO Mega Clik! drives which, in newer versions, is just a PCMCIA card that acts as the drive (i.e., no external cables/hardware). This would allow me to use the Clik! drive as my home directory and just pop out the disk as I pop out the drive in my current laptop. Hence two questions: 1. Does FreeBSD support the PCMCIA version of Clik!? 2. Has anyone used it enough to know if it is usable as a mounted partition (speed wise) or is it to slow for anything but a backup media? Thanks.
