You will need to go for SATA to e-SATA connectors to connect the hard drive to the system. Dell Inspiron N4010 is compatible with SATA II (3 Gbps) hard drives. You can connect SATA III hard drives. However the hard drive will downgrade to SATA II speed and transfer the data from the system to hard drive at SATA II speed. |
