I have my music and photos on a 2006 Dell computer. Can I transfer them to this portable hard drive

Yes. Plug in to a USB port. The driver will load. Open your file manager and move your files to the new drive.

You will need a computer to hook up to your old hard drive. Then you can see on the screen what data you want to save.

Checked Dell support site for D630 specs, Intel SSD should work fine. You may clone exact copy of all data on existing hard drive to your new SSD. Use USB to SATA adapter cable and/or external 2.5 drive enclosure; they may include cloning software for the task. An external enclosure may be used to house the old HD for future backup or additional storage.

I used a 160 GB Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Drive that I removed from an old Dell computer. It works fine.

Yes, you should be able to. Using the Apple USB Superdrive. I transferred about 40 music and photo CDs using this excellent drive. Very fast. Good luck.

I am not sure. I usually hook mine up to a computer. I believe the first time it installed a program. You could do that and then transfer to the hard drive. Sorry, I am not more helpful :)

Yes you can, thats pretty much what we used it for and also to transfer all the old data from the old hard drive to a newer one.

I am not familiar with the Dell specs, but just make sure it supports SATA drives, for the physical connection. If you are using a current OS (Windows 7 or better) then you should be okay. At worse you may need a driver or firmware update.

You need an external hard drive Aimee. You can find them on here for a low price. Make sure it's EXTERNAL only.

Yea just copy them onto the drive and plug it in, you'll have to leave the drive in since it has no internal storage.

You can but the only thing that will be preserved would be your personal files such as documents, music, pictures, and videos. You will have to reinstall all of your programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe photoshop, etc. So you can upgrade to Windows 8 from XP but the only thing you can keep will be personal files.

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

It does work well. It will let you read the hard disk and allow you to either backup or you can transfer the files to another computer.. It's a great thing to have even if you have the oldest hard disk ever. If I were you, you may want to check the connections in your computer. Try that..

Yes, when you put the hard drive into this enclosure and plug it into another computer it will come up as a storage device and you'll have access to all files that are on it so you can copy your old pics and documents.
