Capacity and interface
The Dell 14X4H is a 3TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive that spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SAS interface. It is built for desktop workstations or servers that require high-capacity bulk storage on a SAS backplane.
SAS throughput and cabling
SAS drives operate at the speed of the controller and backplane they are attached to, so sustained transfer rates will not exceed the limits of that host link. The drive uses a standard SAS data and power connector; it cannot be plugged directly into a SATA-only motherboard port without a compatible controller or interposer.
Controller and bay compatibility
Verify that your system has a SAS host bus adapter or RAID card with a free external or internal port and that the chassis provides a 3.5-inch drive bay with SAS backplane power. Without a SAS controller the drive will not be recognised, and a SATA-only connection will not work.

Questions about this item
Is the 3 TB version the right capacity for a desktop workstation?
The 3 TB capacity suits desktop workstations that need bulk storage for media libraries, backups or archives without requiring multiple drives.
What does 7200 RPM deliver in a real desktop system?
The 7200 RPM spindle speed provides quicker sequential reads and writes and lower access latency than slower-spinning drives, improving large-file transfers and application load times.
How does the SAS interface affect performance compared with SATA?
The SAS interface supports dual-port operation and full-duplex signalling, allowing higher sustained throughput and better command queuing in multi-drive arrays than single-port SATA.
