1TB 7200 RPM SATA desktop drive

The Dell 3C46W is a 1TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop workstations and servers that need reliable bulk storage. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface, making it a straightforward upgrade or replacement for standard drive bays. The drive ships new in OEM or retail packaging that may vary.

Capacity and 7200 RPM headroom

One terabyte provides room for operating systems, applications and large media libraries without frequent space management. The 7200 RPM spindle delivers consistent throughput for everyday workloads such as backups, file serving and video playback. Sustained write-heavy tasks like continuous database logging or multi-stream recording will eventually saturate the mechanical limits of the drive.

Tray kit simplifies installation

The supplied kit includes a mounting tray and screws matched to Dell 3.5-inch LFF bays, so the drive secures correctly without extra hardware. No software utilities or management tools are bundled, so administrators rely on the host operating system or RAID controller for monitoring and configuration. Builders using non-Dell chassis must verify tray compatibility before installation.

Questions about this item

Will this 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s drive work in my older desktop that only has SATA 3.0Gb/s ports?

Yes, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3.0Gb/s ports; the drive will run at the slower 3.0Gb/s link speed.

How can I verify the drive is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the rotational speed reported in your BIOS or use a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it should show 7200 RPM for this model.

Does the 3C46W kit include mounting screws or a SATA data cable?

The kit is supplied as an OEM drive; mounting screws and SATA data cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
