Yes it will go through the USB or eSATA (preferred) You just format the drive.

Docking station for what? This computer over heats all the time and the left side needs to always be exposed. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it.

I think the question here is whether the docking station can power on the laptop. The answer is no. The docking station is just a port extension for the laptop.

Don't buy this dock. Call Dell, give them the service tag off your laptop, and let them give you the dock or docks that are compatible with your device. Will save you time, and trouble in the event the dock is bad. The one I purchased originally was bad, and not the best dock for my laptop. Ultimately returned the original one due to defect. Supplier was out of stock so that's when I went to Dell directly. It took a few calls to get someone to tell me which ones were compatible since the website said the super speed was the only one that was noted as being right for my device. That is when the lady asked for my service tag. She was able to pull a list. Good service and the dock works well. Don't buy this dock.

Unfortunately no. It's not a dock able laptop, also the battery is internal and completely closed in so removing it isn't an option

I have the identical item, but I'm not certain what you mean by 'docking station?' Will be able to reply with further explanation.

I do not believe this is compatible. It is only designed for the E series laptops like the E6430 or E6440, etc. You can always purchase a generic USB docking station that will work with any laptop. I have used them in the past and had great luck. Hope this helps, Tom

The docking station has a whole chip with a power regulated switch. It allows for hot swap like a usb. But only the external hard drive slot.

I don't see how it could, that said. Your pc will charge it, so you shouldn't need the dock when it's connected to the pc.

There are no ports for a docking station. It does have HDMI (mini) out and USB ports.

You could try that out (as I haven't). But I would use one of the computer's USB connectors to access the docked hard drive.

I don't know why I ended up a reviewer I did not purchase the corner stand I bought the rectangular stand. If you have a docking station I don't see why it wouldn't work for a laptop.

Thank you. That seems to be the norm. I have a 5 TB i want to dock and cant seem to find anything

Not sure.. but if you are buying on Amazon, I am sure you can return if not. My quess it will work. No reason to keep changing a system (docking station) that has been in place for years
