I have a System76 laptop. There's no
Expresscard port on it.
On their current baseline "Lemur" model I see

That's sort-of "ugh" for connecting Firewire devices. Concerning the
bandwidth, I think you'd need USB 3 (USB 2.0 nominally has 480mbps over
Firewire's 400mbps but reserves less for synchronous transfers and there
are other problems IIRC). I don't know about reliable adapters, but I
haven't looked.
I've got to try some. The only other option I would have would be to use
it on one of my desktop systems, which aren't exactly very portable!
