The express card technology and the pc card technology are different from each other.The pc card interface uses either an ISA-based 16-bit or PCI-based 32-bit parallel interface through a 68-contact pin-and-socket connector but in express card interface uses high-speed PCI express or USB2.0 serial interface through a 26-contact beam-on-blade connector.Express card modules are roughly half the size and lighter than pc card as well as express card module require less power than pc card.Hardware device like memory ,wired,wireless communication cards and security device added by inserting these modules into computer.There are two types of express card module available one is 34 mm wide and another one 54 mm.You do not need to restart your notebook when you change the card because your notebook supports hot-swapping.When you want connect this notebook that time simply push the card to express card slot and check until the outer edge of the card is flush with the side of your notebook.

Actually express card technology has made on base of existing pc card technology.It also balances size,utility,reliability,durability and another main features which is plug-n-play and auto-configuration.The card interface uses either an ISA-based 16-bit or PCI-based 32-bit parallel interface and express card interface uses high-speed PCI-express or USB 2.0 serial interface.
