Finally Silicon Image have released 10.6 compatible drivers for their Sil3132 chipset which includes my Lacie dual channel eSata ExpressCard
eSata expresscard has been a disaster since Snow Leopard came out and now my machine is running its external drives back at full speed.
Why Apple didn’t put an eSata connector on the laptop is a mystery, especially given that its on the motherbaord as the internal drive is SATA.
i had leoprad and had one esata card which worked great.
oneday i installed snow leopard, since that my card did not work anymore.
i searched everywhere and bought 4 cards from internet.
no one work.
finaly i bought one from germany and this one works.
i can install snowleopard on harddisk attached to this card, it works, i can format and install again and again it works.
i can boot.
i can cut videos and write directly to the harddisk and the card works.
the card works 12 hours no mistakes, no frozen os.
i have an ssd hd from kingstone.
my snow leopard boots in less than 7 seconds.
the card from germany i found on http://www.leaf-computer.de it is 1 port esata card calls LCOSBOOTER-1P
i paid 48usd for the card + 15usd for the shipping.
