The E: drive will be one of the USB ports on the side or back of the computer. The way the drives are mapped will determine which one is the E: drive, but you can plug a thumb drive into any of the USB ports and see if it comes up as the E: drive.

I work for Dell's Social Media Team and would like to you help with your question.

Please connect the USB device to any open USB port and please go into My Computer or Computer and you will be able to see the USB drive.

Hope this helps!!! Write back in case if you have any questions.

Thanks,
