Hello,

Thank for your answer, but I need to know for sure, before I invest in HDD and SATA 2 to eSATAp cable.

So if some has done it I will appreciated.

Thanks

You can also buy a HDD media bay, but that is really  not so desirable.

I talked to a Dell representative, which told me this is not a supported option

You can boot from a USB disk or a USB memory key, but not an eSATAp disk.

You might want to try an eSATAp Expresscard .

Kind of stupid, not to support such an option. I am really disappointed...
