Dell 9CF26 500GB SATA Hard Drive

The Dell 9CF26 is a 500GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface and a 512e disk format. This new drive is designed for desktop workstations and server environments.

Interface and Form Factor

The drive connects via a standard SATA interface operating at 6Gb/s and fits a 3.5-inch drive bay. Compatibility is confirmed for the Precision 7910 Tower Workstation. Buyers needing a different physical size or a PCIe interface should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed mean once the drive is installed in a workstation?

The 7200 RPM spindle speed gives faster sequential read and write performance than slower desktop drives, reducing load times for large files on a Precision 7910 Tower Workstation.

What does the SATA/600 interface standard cap in practice?

The SATA/600 interface caps the maximum theoretical transfer rate at 6 Gb/s, so sustained throughput will not exceed that limit regardless of the drive’s internal speed.

What physical space does the 3.5" form factor need to fit or mount?

The 3.5" form factor requires a standard 3.5-inch internal drive bay and uses the regular SATA data and power connectors found in desktop workstations.
