    For all those dell studio 1535/37's or 17, the esata jack on the laptop can also be used as a usb. I just realized it and i wanted to share. So we have 4 usb ports now.

    Almost all mainstream Dell models have one of these combo ports nowadays. On the flip side, I always use mine as a USB slot and forget about the eSATA element...
