am based in the uk.
a freelance visual effects compositor and editor.
i am currently working on a fully loaded precision m90 and want to upgrade my hdd.
currently my desk is cluttered with 1 external hdd case. 1 2.5 hdd and another internal hdd connected via a sata to usb connector.

i want to get rid of all this and buy an external raid case.
i had been looking at Lacie 2Big eSata II drive.
am unable to post url as of now which i understand. but if you put this in google:
LaCie 2big Dual (2-disk RAID)
the first result is the product page.

my question is does it use the same connector as esata or a different one?
i will need an esata xpresscard to add esata connectivity to my laptop. which one should i go for?
does this xpresscard connector need to have some kind of raid management thingy?

is it sensible to think that the above mentioned hdd casing would working fine with my laptop when connected via an xpresscard adapter?

am i missing out on any important points to consider?
