Dell 3C46W 1TB SATA Hard Drive

The Dell 3C46W is a 1TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive and carries the original Dell part number 3C46W for use in compatible Dell storage systems.

Suited for server storage expansion

This drive fits administrators adding capacity to a Dell Storage NX430 or similar Dell platforms that accept 3.5-inch SATA drives. Buyers needing a smaller 2.5-inch form factor or a different interface should look elsewhere.

SATA 6Gb/s interface

The drive communicates over a SATA 6Gb/s connection, so the host system must provide a compatible SATA port. Verify that your chassis and controller support 3.5-inch SATA drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this 3C46W drive work in a standard desktop that only has SATA 3 Gb/s ports?

Yes, the SATA 6 Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s ports, so the drive will operate at the lower speed without any extra configuration.

Can I keep my existing 3.5" drive cage when installing this 3C46W drive?

The drive uses the standard 3.5" form factor, so it fits the same bays and mounting points as other 3.5" SATA drives you may already have installed.

How can I confirm the 3C46W is running at its rated 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported spindle speed in your BIOS or a SMART monitoring tool; it should show 7200 RPM when the drive is active.
