Can I store document files with this on a Dell computer....

Absolutely. There is a newer version of this USB drive that a bit better though.

Well, using the WD 120GB External HD should give issues. as of now, it is working fine for me. Try to verify the USB2 Enhanced Host Controller should appear in the Device Manager. If you installed the Dell Notebook System Software at last, this might not work properly. Thanks

You can move files to and from the tablet or use it as extra storage. Put personal data that you need on the use and not on the table for better security. Ps get a file explorer app. It works great

You can store anything on this drive. All kinds of files will be able to be stored there.

Scrupples' answer sounds about right. Maybe look for a budget monitor. I wonder if you could back up your old computer and then load the files onto the Dell. I'm not the most computer savvy guy BTW.

I may not be understanding the question entirely, but once I formatted the drive to Mac, I could edit and save basic documents to the drive. But my pc treats it like a read only drive. Hope that helps.

Yes! QuickOffice is loaded on mine and is available for download from the Play Apps downloader that comes loaded on your Dell Tablet. QuickOffice has QuickWord, QuickSheet, QuickPoint and QuickPDF Viewer so you should be able to do anything you need to do. It works great!

The drive has a USB 2.0 port which will work on a Mac or a PC. As Anthony W. advised, format the drive in FAT32 for compatibility with both systems. (I seriously doubt that your Dell computer has a firewire port and USB transfer won't approach the firewire 800 speed, but it should work.) Formatting the drive will probably be easier and faster if you do it on the Mac before connecting to your Dell.Congratulations on upgrading to a Mac.

I use Kingston office which creates .doc documents. It's baicially Word Processor for Android.

Yes. It is very easy to use. Good for BASIC documentation and storage. Don't know if it will hold up to today's school work.

It is an IDE device. With most dells you will need to put a adapter on the pins. They are for sale here on Amazon or E Bay where they are only about $2 or so and shipped quickly. Look at the drive and see if you have the multi pin interface or a flat interface.Check the dell documentation with any questions on the interface.You of course will need to format the drive before it shows on your system.You should have no problems beyond those listed above. I am relatively impressed how good it seems to work for me so far. Good Luck

Yes. That is what I did on a Dell PC.I also connected an SSD (solid state drive) as my boot drive.Works great !

I haven't tried, but I don't know why you couldn't. I've scanned to both my hard drive and the "cloud". During the scan process you're asked where you want to store the file. I'm sure a flash drive would show as a choice. Hope this helps.

Yes. In fact, I just bought a new Dell XPS tablet running Windows 8, it came with no drive, yet I was able to use this drive to install an older program I use that runs on Windows 7. So yes, it should work no problem at all. Make sure you have 2 free USB ports, as the drive requires both in order to operate.

No I don't believe so. Although short on ram and disk space I have been able to do everything I have thrown at it. For light to medium duty tasks it's a great little tool. I have word and excel as well as several of my own programs on it. It still has half of its disk space left. If disk space is a problem get a large USB 3.0 drive to store your data on.

To be honest I'm not sure. I've never opened it up, but Dell may have answer or some third party memory finder websites. Apologies.

Of course it does: CDs and DVDs. USBs? I think there are at least two, if memory serves. Unless you're strapped, I wouldn't buy this computer: it, as all Dells, overheats far too much. I was forced to cuz' I have all the peripheral Dell stuff from my last Latitude - that burned out/overheated. I'd jump to HP in a song when/if I could. . .
