    Hey guys, whats up?

    Listen, I got this D/Dock for my d620 and all this time i thought it had 5 usb ports but know that i noticed I only have four. One of them is labelled as a Dell D/Bay external module bay port. Okay, so what is this for?

    Well, it is a USB port (I think) but it also has a next-door-neighbor power line. That's why it looks a little different. Dell has an external module holder that you can put another hard drive or a second DVD drive into and run it from there.
