<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Standards">Standards</h2></div>

<p>Originally developed by the <a href="Personal_Computer_Memory_Card_International_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Personal Computer Memory Card International Association">Personal Computer Memory Card International Association</a> (<a href="PCMCIA" title="PCMCIA">PCMCIA</a>), the ExpressCard standard is maintained by the <a href="USB_Implementers_Forum" title="USB Implementers Forum">USB Implementers Forum</a> (<a href="USB-IF" class="mw-redirect" title="USB-IF">USB-IF</a>). The host device supports <a href="PCI_Express" title="PCI Express">PCI Express</a>, <a href="Universal_Serial_Bus" class="mw-redirect" title="Universal Serial Bus">USB 2.0</a> (including Hi-Speed), and <a href="USB_3.0" title="USB 3.0">USB 3.0</a> (SuperSpeed)<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (ExpressCard 2.0 only) connectivity through the ExpressCard slot; cards can be designed to use any of these modes. The cards are <a href="Hot_swapping" title="Hot swapping">hot-pluggable</a>. The ExpressCard standard is an <a href="Open_standard" title="Open standard">open standard</a> by <a href="ITU-T" title="ITU-T">ITU-T</a> definition, and can be obtained from the USB-IF website free of charge.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>USB-IF administers the ExpressCard Compliance Program, under which companies earn the right to obtain a license to use the ExpressCard logo on their compliant products.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Form_factors">Form factors</h2></div>

<p>The ExpressCard standard specifies two form factors, <b>ExpressCard/34</b> (34 millimetres (1.3 in) wide) and <b>ExpressCard/54</b> (54 mm (2.1 in) wide, in an L-shape)—the connector is the same on both (34 mm wide). Standard cards are 75 mm (3.0 in) long (10.6 mm (0.42 in) shorter than CardBus) and 5 mm (0.20 in) thick, but may be thicker on sections that extend outside the standard form for <a href="Antenna_(radio)" title="Antenna (radio)">antennas</a>, sockets, etc. With its 75 mm standard length, the ExpressCard will protrude 5 mm over the holder's surface (e.g. laptop surface), whereas a variant with 70 mm length remains level with the surface.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Comparison_to_other_standards">Comparison to other standards</h2></div>

<p>The older PC Cards came in 16-bit and the later 32-bit <a href="CardBus" class="mw-redirect" title="CardBus">CardBus</a> designs. The major benefit of the ExpressCard over the PC card is more bandwidth, due to the ExpressCard's direct connection to the system bus over a PCI Express ×1 lane and USB 2.0, while CardBus cards only interface with PCI. The ExpressCard has a maximum throughput of 2.5 Gbit/s through PCI Express and 480 Mbit/s through USB 2.0 dedicated for each slot, while all CardBus and PCI devices connected to a computer usually share a total 1.06 Gbit/s bandwidth.

</p><p>The ExpressCard standard specifies voltages of either 1.5 V or 3.3 V; CardBus slots can use 3.3 V or 5.0 V. The ExpressCard FAQ claims lower cost, better scalability, and better integration with motherboard chipset technology than Cardbus. PCMCIA devices can be connected to an ExpressCard slot via an adapter.

</p><p>When the PC Card was introduced, the only other way to connect peripherals to a laptop computer was via <a href="RS-232" title="RS-232">RS-232</a> and <a href="Parallel_port" title="Parallel port">parallel ports</a> of limited performance, so it was widely adopted for many peripherals. More recently, virtually all laptop equipment has 480 Mbit/s Hi-Speed <a href="USB_2.0" class="mw-redirect" title="USB 2.0">USB 2.0</a> ports, and most types of peripheral which formerly used a PC Card connection are available for USB or are built-in, making the ExpressCard less necessary than the PC Card was in its day. Many laptop computers do not have an ExpressCard slot.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Availability">Availability</h2></div>

<p>An ExpressCard slot was commonly included on high-end laptops from the mid 2000s to the early 2010s:

<li><a href="Apple_Inc." title="Apple Inc.">Apple Inc.</a> included single ExpressCard/34 slots in every <a href="MacBook_Pro" title="MacBook Pro">MacBook Pro</a> notebook computer from January 2006 through June 2009. At the June 8, 2009 <a href="Apple_Worldwide_Developers_Conference" class="mw-redirect" title="Apple Worldwide Developers Conference">Apple Worldwide Developers Conference</a> the company announced that the 15-inch and 13-inch MacBook Pro models would replace the ExpressCard slot with a <a href="Secure_Digital_card" class="mw-redirect" title="Secure Digital card">Secure Digital card</a> slot, while retaining the ExpressCard slot on the 17-inch model. In June 2012 Apple discontinued the 17-inch model and no further Macbooks have offered an ExpressCard slot.</li>

<li>As of 2006, <a href="ASUS" class="mw-redirect" title="ASUS">ASUS</a> had also replaced the PC Card slot with an ExpressCard slot on many of its new models.</li>

<li><a href="Sony" title="Sony">Sony</a> also began shipping systems<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with ExpressCard with its new laptop VGN-C, VGN-SZ, VGN-NS, VPC and FW product line.</li>

<li>The <a href="Acer_Aspire" title="Acer Aspire">Acer Aspire</a> laptop series also had a single ExpressCard/54 slot on most new models.</li>

<li>As of 2007, <a href="Panasonic" title="Panasonic">Panasonic</a> incorporated ExpressCard/54 slots in all the fully rugged and semi-rugged models of their <a href="Toughbook" title="Toughbook">Toughbook</a> brand of laptop computers.</li>

<li>As of 2007, <a href="Gateway%2C_Inc." title="Gateway, Inc.">Gateway</a> notebooks (ML3109 and later) also shipped with ExpressCard/54 interfaces.</li></ul>

<p>Because of the lack of backward compatibility, some laptop manufacturers initially released models incorporating both CardBus (PCMCIA, <a href="PC_Card" title="PC Card">PC Card</a>) and ExpressCard slots. These included certain models of <a href="Acer_Aspire" title="Acer Aspire">Acer Aspire</a>, <a href="Acer_Extensa" title="Acer Extensa">Acer Extensa</a>, <a href="Toshiba_Satellite" class="mw-redirect" title="Toshiba Satellite">Toshiba Satellite</a>, <a href="Dell_Latitude" title="Dell Latitude">Dell Latitude</a> and Precision, MSI S42x and Lenovo <a href="ThinkPad_Z60m" title="ThinkPad Z60m">ThinkPad Z60m</a>, R52, T60, R61 and T61.

</p><p>In March 2005, the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) showed some of the first ExpressCard products at the CeBIT trade show in <a href="Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A large number of ExpressCard devices were presented.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In November 2006, <a href="Belkin" title="Belkin">Belkin</a> announced that it was launching the first ExpressCard <a href="Docking_station" title="Docking station">docking station</a>, which uses the PCIe part of an ExpressCard connection to enable 1600x1200 video and the USB part to provide USB, audio and network ports.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This points to the ability for ExpressCard to allow more capable non-OEM docking stations for laptop computers.

</p><p>In 2007, Sony introduced its Vaio TZ model, which incorporates ExpressCards. Also the Sony Vaio FZ and Vaio Z series have the ExpressCard/34 Slot integrated in them. Sony also uses the ExpressCard/34 form factor for the flash memory modules in its <a href="XDCAM_EX" class="mw-redirect" title="XDCAM EX">XDCAM EX</a>/<a href="SxS" title="SxS">SxS</a> based <a href="Camcorders" class="mw-redirect" title="Camcorders">camcorders</a>, making the copying of video data between these cameras and ExpressCard-equipped laptops easier. For this reason, Sony also offers a USB-based SxS reader for desktop computers.

</p><p>The <a href="Toshiba_Satellite" class="mw-redirect" title="Toshiba Satellite">Toshiba Satellite</a> P and X 200/205 series of laptops and desktop replacements have an ExpressCard/34 slot since April 2007.

</p><p>Ever since PCMCIA disbanded in 2009, newer laptops from 2010 on more commonly do not include ExpressCard slots except for some business-oriented models (e.g. some Lenovo models use it for supporting a smart card reader).<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For WWAN connectivity cards, either mini-PCIe slots or USB connected variants have become the preferred connection methods. For external desktop graphics card enclosures and other peripherals that interface with PCI Express, <a href="Thunderbolt_(interface)" title="Thunderbolt (interface)">Thunderbolt</a> has supplanted ExpressCard in that role due to its faster speed and ability to use multiple PCIe 2.0 lanes; the first and second Thunderbolt revisions offered 20 Gbit/s of maximum bandwidth with four PCIe 2.0 lanes while ExpressCard could only muster 5 Gbit/s maximum with one PCIe 2.0 lane.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="ExpressCard_2.0">ExpressCard 2.0</h2></div>

<p>The ExpressCard 2.0 standard was introduced on March 4, 2009, at CeBIT in Hannover. It provides a single <a href="PCI_Express" title="PCI Express">PCIe 1.0</a> 2.5 GT/s lane (optionally PCIe 2.0 with 5 GT/s) and a USB 3.0 "SuperSpeed" link with a raw transfer speed of 5 Gbit/s (effective transfer speed up to 400 MB/s).<sup id="cite_ref-faq3_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-faq3-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It is forward and backward compatible with earlier ExpressCard modules and slots. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed compatibility is achieved by sharing the pins with the PCIe link.
