external hard drive.

Using the memory card
reader
You can use memory cards to transfer pictures from a
digital camera to your notebook. You can also use the
memory card reader to transfer data between your
notebook and a device that uses memory cards, such
as a PDA, MP3 player, or cellular telephone.
Tip
Your notebook must be turned on to remove CDs and DVDs
using this method. If you do not want to turn on your notebook,
manually eject the disc by inserting an opened paper clip into the
manual eject hole.
Important
For more information about using your eSATA hard drive, see
your drive’s documentation.
