Apple's recently refreshed MacBook Pro 13″ and 15″ models each come equipped with an SD Media Card reader slot, but for the 15" laptop this has required elimination of the ExpressCard/34 expansion slot.

The ExpressCard/34 slot is still offered on the 17″ MacBook Pro.

The Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34 is compatible with MacBook Pro systems running Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, as well as with laptops running Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2.
