I have one of those PCMCIA ones and it was really slick for a while then it stated requiring me to reboot my PC everytime I took the card out. If it works good for you then it's really nice, but a compact flash reader that plugs into a USB port is also an option. It will never require a reboot, because you don't have to disconnect the reader to eject the media.
