USB compatibility
I have a Dell Inspiron 570. I need to purchase a new external hard drive and most drives currently available are USB3.0. Will these external drives operate with this computer?

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so if you only have 2.0 ports you shouldn't have any issues using the 3.0 drive, it just won't run at full 3.0 speed.
