OptiPlex 3060 SFF business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3060 SFF is a small form factor business desktop with an Intel Core i5-8500 6-core processor running at 3.0 GHz with a 4.1 GHz turbo. It includes 8 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory and a 256 GB SATA M.2 Class 20 SSD. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed with a DVD±RW drive, keyboard and mouse.

Suited for office work, not for heavy graphics

This system suits office, school and home users who need a compact PC for documents, web browsing and video playback with dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and eight USB ports. Buyers who want discrete graphics performance or more than 8 GB of memory should look at other configurations.

256 GB SATA M.2 SSD capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 256 GB SATA M.2 Class 20 solid state drive. It provides the operating system and application storage on this model. Buyers who need a larger drive or a different interface must choose another unit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 256 GB SATA M.2 drive in the OptiPlex 3060 SFF, and what step is often missed?

Remove the side panel, locate the M.2 slot on the motherboard, insert the drive at an angle, then secure it with the retention screw; the step often missed is tightening that screw so the drive stays seated.

What maintenance will the 8 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory need later?

DDR4 modules require no scheduled maintenance; if capacity becomes limiting, add matching DDR4 2666 MHz sticks to the free slots — no other service is needed.

What limit appears first when the Core i5-8500 runs at 4.1 GHz turbo under sustained load in the SFF chassis?

The small-form-factor cooler reaches its thermal limit first, causing the processor to throttle below the 4.1 GHz turbo frequency to stay within safe temperatures.
