Would an external hard drive work with this mini laptop?

Yes. It has a working USB port that supports most USB functioning items including external hard drives.

None. You have to put in your own hard-drive; this is just an enclosure for an internal drive to make it an external drive.

Sure, you can use an external enclosure and use it as a backup drive. Just remember that it's a 2.5 inch drive (like in laptops), not a regular 3.5 inch (like in a pc).Cheers

Of what I read, as long as you enclose a laptop sized hard drive in it, it should work

There is a port for a mini usb cable so you can add then back up an external hard drive.

standard laptop, yes. You may need to resize partitions if the size of the storage differ

Should work since you can buy a hp Mini 311-1025NR with an SSD. Normally reseller kit is when you're putting a 2.5 inch HD in place of a 3.5" drive. Which isn't the case with a laptop -2.5" standard size

There are two types of hard drives, only the desk top are bigger and laptop smaller, if your hard drive is small it will fit and work properly. You just need to re install the OS and all the programs for the computer to work 100%.

Probably not. This is a replacement/upgrade for a laptop. It is not designed for external use.

Yes, given that the hd you're talking about is a rather generic 2.5" laptop hd with an ATA connection and a capacity of &lt; 500GB. It'll do the job just fine.

Yes it will work. If using an external hard drive, you may have to format to enfat

No, it's intended as a desktop drive, meaning the external power supply is needed. But it's worth checking out LaCie's portable HDs. I have a 250GB Porsche-designed one that's been a workhorse for years.

I believe a Western Digital drive would work fine. I bought 2 of them for myself.

Yes, this should work. My lenovo laptop has displayport and the other end goes to back of tv to hdmi port, so as long as your external harddrive has display port, it should work.

How does an external DVD drive fit with the mini laptop? Do you connect it somehow to the laptop?

As long as your computer features an SD card input, it should be a pretty safe bet. I use one as a hard-drive for a Raspberry Pi and it's been great with no complaints. That being said, sometimes computers and peripherals have weird interactions due to quirks specific to either the peripheral or computer.

Yes it will, I use 500gig and 1 TB hard drives on my laptops. If your system is already loaded you can image the drive.
