Can I attach an external hard drive and/or a DVD burner to the USB port of this model?

you can but make sure they are attached to an external power supply because the USB port does not supply full power. It does not have enough juice to power usb drives but not external DVD drives or hard drives. You can get the dock though and you won't have this problem

yes. The usb port is fully functional and so far has accommodated all the usb devices I have attached.

Yes, there is a USB port attached to the unit for you to connect a USB hard drive to. Obviously, the videos need to be in the supported format.

Unfortunately, no. There was one in the previous model however. Get one of those if an optical drive is critical to your requirements. I use a portable hard disc drive as a substitute.

No, you need to buy a external Ultra-slim Docking Station with DVD-RW drive.

It's not a problem to power an external HD on this USB port. DVD? Sorry, not sure about that. Never tried.

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones. 2) Yes. I hope this helps you in making your decision.

This model DOES NOT have a CD/DVD slot. One would have to purchase an external disk drive to attach to this computer.

Sorry no. It's just a standard DVDRW drive that's in-built. At least my particular model's is in-built.

there is no optical drive (DVD/CD), and there is no SATA port behind the plastic spacer! But you can add DVD capability by plugging USB external DVD drive.

I purchased a free standing DVDRW from Dell. It connects with USB and was about $45.

the external cd/dvd player/burner is connected to the pc with 2 usb cables -one for power, the other for data. i have not tried to burn a cd, but i imagine you should be able to - why not? it IS a cd/dvd "burner." but i can not say, for sure.

The USB port acts as a print server for any usb printer. You can't add an external hard disk to this unit

Both NTFS and Fat 32 formatted discs or USB sticks are supported. Cheers! Marty G

It's a standard PC so it'll take anything you can plug in to it. By DVD port I assume you mean USB so yes, it does have several USB ports for you to connect a external DVD drive.

This specific model does not come with a cd/DVD burner. However, you can utilize one of the USB ports and attach an external cd/DVD burner. Also, please realize this specific model does not come with a disc reader, so there is no way of playing your cd's, or uploading any data via disc. Just thought I would point that out before you purchase!

Even when this is an awesome laptop, it haven't a dvd-cd burner. (actually doesn't have an optical drive). But you can buy an external one!!!
