Hrm. On the topic: I've got an old laptop set up as a media box. Right now I've copied pretty much all my video and music stuff to a 500-gig USD box.
However, access speed is still not quite the greatest for some videos that require more processing than others.
I'm using the laptop's PCMCIA slot for a network card right now, but I could get a cheap USB wireless NIC to replace it.
The question is, would a PCMCIA USB2.0/Firewire card give me enough of an improvement to be worth the investment?
