Hello Beth,
My name is Krishna and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. If its an external hard drive, it should work as long as it can connect to your laptop via USB or Firewire and you have the software.

It also depends on whether or not you are going to run the Operating System on the external drive. If your motherboard and the caddy can support Boot from USB device, then technically Yes, but in practice I'd strongly advise against trying it.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dell-Kris K
