Questions about this item

What SATA revision does the 500 GB hard drive use, and what throughput does that cap in practice?

The 3.5 inch 500 GB drive connects through a SATA interface; the board's SATA ports limit sustained transfer to the SATA revision supported by the chipset.

What physical clearance does the Small Form Factor case impose on the 3.5 inch drive and half-height optical bay?

The SFF chassis accepts one 3.5 inch SATA drive and a half-height DVD±RW in the slim optical bay; full-height cards will not fit.

How is the WiFi USB adapter installed, and what step is often missed?

Plug the supplied WiFi USB adapter into any free USB port, then install the driver from Windows 10 Pro or the Dell support site; skipping the driver install leaves the adapter unrecognised.
