Storage capacity and interface

The Dell 463-4952 is a 2TB internal hard drive built for 3.5-inch desktop bays. It connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM. The drive is tested and validated for Dell systems. It ships new in retail or OEM packaging.

Buyers who need speed or smaller form factors

This drive suits users adding bulk storage to a compatible Dell desktop or replacing a failed 3.5-inch SATA drive. It is not for builders who need the faster access times of solid-state storage. It is also not for laptops or small-form-factor PCs that only accept 2.5-inch drives.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must provide a standard SATA data port and matching power connector. Without that interface the drive cannot be installed or used.

Questions about this item

Does my desktop need a free 3.5" drive bay and a SATA data plus power cable to install this 463-4952 drive?

Yes, the 3.5" form factor requires a standard 3.5-inch bay and both a SATA data cable from the motherboard and a SATA power connector from the PSU.

Will this SATA 6.0Gb/s drive work reliably on an older motherboard that only supports SATA 3.0Gb/s?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA 3.0Gb/s controllers; it will operate at the lower 3.0Gb/s link speed without any configuration changes.

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

Use a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or the BIOS SMART data page; the reported rotation rate should show 7200 RPM for this model.
