Yes, some express cards require you power the card down from the little Card
icon in the top right menu.
This stops drawing power/info from the card before then ejecting it.
Otherwise some cards do Kernal panic the machine.
Better to do it that way generally anyway.

Hi James
What's the issue with hot-swapping Express cards? I've just purchased
one for an external e-SATA drive, and I never shutdown my Macbook. Why

Hi James,
Did you first unmount / dismount the Drive?
Hot-Swap functionality enables you to connect and disconnect drives without
having to power down your computer.
This does not mean you can simply pull out a drive at any time; you must put
away (“eject”, “unmount”, “dismount”) the drive
I have a Macbook Pro and there is a Card slot on the left side. It has never
been used. My question is what could the best way be to use it. I am really
thinking about plugging in a semi permanent sd card as a digital drive but the

You don't give any details of which model MacBook Pro.
If its a 17 Thunderbolt MBP 2011 it is the ExpressCard 34 slot
A read of the manual will tell you what each slot and port does. It came with
the computer.
