SD Card slot

[Kevvy]

Some more help please. My new PC doesn't have a firewire hole but it does have an SD card slot. Can you tell me if this products fits in the SD card slot. http://www.ivoryegg.com/products/productPage.aspx?id=263483 Thanks for any help.

No that's a PCMCIA card(CardBus), those ports are on old laptops.


Only flash cards can be used in the SD port, do you have a laptop or desktop?

He doesn't want an SD card reader, he wants to add Firewire. If your computer doesn't have a PCMCIA slot it should have Expresscard instead, in which case you want something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003N3J354/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&...1YP7N150TDZPQT

It should have a PCIe slot so buy this:

I bought on of those this morning and had to return it as the mother board doesn't have a slot for it.

You need to read your manual or open up the case to see what your motherboard supports, it might only have the old PCI port so try this one:

That's the exact card I bought. I took the PC to PC World and they had a look and said the mother board has no add on's for this. Is there a firewire option for the SD card slot?

If I opened my pc and took a picture could you tell me if that would work?

[Baldrick]

Yep, take a picture. Or try find the motherboard model number.

And nope, you can't use the sdcard slot.

It looks like two pci-e slots and one 16x pci-e.

Didn't you try with a small pci-e?

As you've probably gathered I'm not that bright on PC's and not sure what a PCI-e=E is although I gather its a board for the firewire. Can you recommend what I need?
Thanks again.

The first one I linked should work.
