DELL 50XV4 1 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA/300 internal hard drive

1 TB SATA/300 desktop drive

This Dell 50XV4 is a 1 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 32 MB cache. It connects through a SATA interface rated at 300 MB/s and arrives as a bare drive without retail packaging. The unit is new and built for desktop chassis that accept standard 3.5-inch SATA bays.

Suits bulk storage in desktops and servers

The drive fits users who need a terabyte of affordable capacity for backups, media libraries or archival workloads in a desktop or entry-level server. It is not suited for anyone who requires solid-state speeds, a 2.5-inch form factor or a SATA 6 Gb/s interface for higher throughput.

SATA/300 interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA/300 interface, which limits the drive to 3 Gb/s transfer rates on any motherboard or controller that only offers this standard. Systems needing 6 Gb/s SATA or a different physical connector will not achieve full performance or cannot accept the drive at all.
