Compact desktop for everyday work

The Dell OptiPlex 3060 SFF is a small-form-factor desktop built around an Intel Core i5-8400 2.80 GHz processor. It ships with 16 GB DDR4 memory, a 512 GB NVMe solid-state drive and a 2 TB hard drive. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit comes pre-installed without bloatware. A wireless keyboard, mouse and USB Wi-Fi adapter are included, and the chassis provides eight USB ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet and a DVD drive.

Step up from older SFF units

This configuration replaces ageing small-form-factor PCs that rely on mechanical drives and 4 GB to 8 GB of memory. The jump is worth it when daily tasks — web browsing, document editing, video playback — feel sluggish or when the current machine lacks an NVMe boot drive. The 512 GB NVMe plus 2 TB HDD combination removes the storage bottleneck without requiring an immediate upgrade.

Ideal for home offices and classrooms

Buyers who need a ready-to-use Windows desktop with dual-display outputs and wired networking will find this unit fits the brief. It is not suited for workloads that demand a full-height graphics card, more than two low-profile PCI Express x1 slots, or additional 3.5-inch drive bays beyond the single internal bay provided.

Questions about this item

What size drive bays does the Dell OptiPlex 3060 SFF chassis provide for adding storage?
