Enterprise 4TB SATA drive

This Dell N36YX drive provides 4TB of storage on a 3.5-inch SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and belongs to the Enterprise Capacity 3.5 series. The unit is supplied new and intended for desktop internal bays.

Capacity and throughput headroom

Four terabytes suit bulk data, backups and archival workloads that benefit from 7200 RPM sustained transfer rates. The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps peak throughput, so very high random I/O or multi-stream video ingest will saturate the interface before the platters do.

Packing variation note

Retail or OEM packing may vary, so the drive may arrive in a plain anti-static tray or a branded box. No cables, mounting screws or software utilities are included with the bare drive.

Questions about this item

Will this 4TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s drive work in an older desktop that only supports SATA 3.0Gb/s?

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

How can I verify the N36YX is running at its full 7200 RPM and 6.0Gb/s link speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in your BIOS or OS disk utility; it should report 6.0Gb/s, and SMART data will confirm the 7200 RPM spindle speed.

Does the N36YX 3.5" enterprise drive ship with mounting screws or a SATA data cable, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied in retail or OEM packing that may vary; mounting screws and SATA data cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
