  • Key Specs
    • Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
    • Rotational Speed: 7200 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
    • Form Factor: 3.5 in.

Q: is it compatible with Dell xps desktop

A: As long as your XPS desktop is SATA capable, which most are. Gold is the top line of drives from WD. They are most reliable & best built. They are enterprise class drives, meaning techs use them is Servers because of their stability & reliability. Gold wont have the read/write speed WD Blacks have, but they will certainly last longer & if you've ever suffered a HDD crash... you know how important stability is. It should be an easy HDD swap in a Dell XPS, but of course you'll need to re-load your OS - so make sure you have a means to do so.
