    Just seems odd that one cannot have auto-backup via eSATA.
    Something needs updating. Lets hope Dell and Intel are reading this!

    Just in case anyone interested. The codes are expiring very soon.

    Dual-Mode Display Port Source for Dell Latitude E-Series Laptop / Precision Mobile WorkStation M4400. And from their compatibility chart, it is supposed to work with the M6400 also.

    Just wondering if anyone has used the Display Port to HDMI adapter to connect the M6400 to a projector? If yes, what is the quality of the projected image? What resolutions are supported? Thanks.

    It's not hard at all. I just purchased the generic multibay HDD adapter off of Ebay and put the HD in. I also purchased an external multibay for my CD rom on the rare occasion that I need to use it.

    I'm confused. You're putting a hard drive in the CD-ROM bay of a M6400? If so, how the hell does that work?!
