Capacity and interface

The Dell 1KWKJ is a 500GB desktop internal hard drive with a 3.5 inch form factor. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied new in bare drive packaging.

Buyers needing enterprise-class bulk storage

This drive suits system builders and IT departments replacing a failed enterprise-class drive in a compatible Dell server or workstation. Buyers who need a different capacity or a faster interface should look at something else. Users requiring a 2.5 inch form factor for a laptop or compact chassis cannot use this model.

SATA 3.0Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. Your host controller or backplane must support this exact link speed for the drive to operate correctly. Verify the interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed mean for everyday performance?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed provides faster data access and higher sustained transfer rates than slower drives, improving operating system responsiveness and file load times.

What does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface caps the maximum burst transfer rate at 3.0 Gb/s, so the drive cannot exceed that ceiling even if the platters could deliver more.

Will this 3.5 inch drive fit in a standard desktop drive bay?

Yes, the 3.5 inch form factor matches standard desktop internal drive bays and uses the same SATA data and power connectors found in most desktop chassis.
