DELL Precision T3420 workstation i7-6700 3.4GHz 64GB DDR4 250GB NVMe

Dell Precision T3420 workstation overview

This Dell Precision T3420 tower workstation ships new with an Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor at 3.4 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and a 250 GB NVMe M.2 SSD. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives up to two displays via DisplayPort and HDMI. A 425 W 80 PLUS Gold power supply and a DVD±RW drive complete the configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers needing a ready-to-run tower for general office applications, light CAD or multi-monitor productivity will find the installed 64 GB RAM and NVMe boot drive adequate. The single CPU socket and half-height expansion slots limit future processor upgrades and full-height add-in cards. Users who require ECC memory validation, a discrete GPU for 3D rendering or more than two internal drive bays should consider a larger Precision model.

NVMe M.2 SSD capacity constraint

The boot drive is a 250 GB NVMe M.2 2280 module installed in the sole M.2 slot. No additional M.2 sockets are present, so storage expansion relies on the single 3.5-inch internal bay that can accept one 3.5-inch or two 2.5-inch drives. Buyers whose workloads demand a larger primary NVMe volume must replace this module rather than add a second one.
