Dell S4620 480GB SSD — 2.5" Internal SATA with 3.5" Carrier (Mixed Use)

Upgrade your PC, workstation, or entry-level server with the Dell S4620 480 GB solid-state drive. Built to deliver fast, dependable storage, this drive leverages a 2.5" form factor paired with a practical 3.5" carrier to fit a wide range of systems—from compact desktops to traditional tower cases and rack-mounted deployments. Its SATA interface (SATA/600) provides reliable, widely compatible bandwidth for operating systems, applications, and data assets, while the 512e format ensures compatibility with modern drives and existing data management practices. Designed for mixed-use workloads, the S4620 focuses on sustained performance and energy efficiency, helping you shorten boot times, accelerate file access, and maintain responsive multitasking across demanding environments.

Whether you’re refreshing aging storage, building a compact workstation, or outfitting a small business with dependable, silently operating storage, the Dell S4620 delivers a balanced blend of speed, capacity, and efficiency. The 480 GB capacity is ideal for boot drives, software suites, and essential data sets, enabling you to install your preferred operating system, productivity software, and critical applications without sacrificing large-scale storage room. With power-conscious operation and robust reliability, this SSD is a practical choice for contemporary computing needs where downtime is costly and performance matters.

In addition to raw speed, the Dell S4620 emphasizes long-term reliability and energy efficiency. The drive is engineered to minimize power draw during idle periods and maintain steady throughput under typical mixed-use workloads. This makes it suitable for day-to-day professional use, creative workflows, databases with light to moderate read/write activity, and general-purpose computing where quick access to data translates into real-world productivity gains. When you pair this SSD with the included 3.5" carrier, you gain versatile installation options that simplify upgrades in systems that still rely on traditional bay configurations.

Beyond performance, the S4620 is designed with consistency in mind. The drive’s 512e formatting supports compatibility with traditional sector sizes, easing data migration and drive replacement, and it helps maintain compatibility with a broad ecosystem of software tools, backup solutions, and enterprise management practices. This makes it a strong choice for mixed environments where a single storage solution must support a variety of workloads and user profiles—from operating system hosting to application acceleration and data caching. The drive’s energy-efficient design also contributes to cooler operation and potentially longer overall system lifespans by reducing heat generation in sustained workloads.

As part of a broader storage strategy, the Dell S4620 stands out for its balance of speed, reliability, and pragmatic form factor. The 2.5" internal drive aligns with most modern desktops and laptops, while the 3.5" carrier enables straightforward replacement in systems that expect a traditional 3.5" drive bay. This flexibility is particularly valuable for small businesses, IT departments, and enthusiasts who want to maximize upgrade options without compromising on performance. With sequential read/write performance typical of SATA SSDs and the benefits of instant-on responsiveness, this drive helps to reduce application load times, streamline data access, and minimize interruptions in daily operations.

How to install Dell S4620

To install the Dell S4620 SSD, power down your system and unplug all cables. If you’re upgrading a desktop or workstation, remove the existing drive from its bay and position the Dell S4620 in the 2.5" drive slot. If your chassis uses a 3.5" bay, attach the included 3.5" carrier to the 2.5" drive and secure the carrier in the bay. Connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard’s SATA port and attach the power connector from the power supply. In laptops, install the 2.5" drive into the laptop’s dedicated bay or use the universal carrier as needed, then reassemble. Power up the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is recognized, and proceed to initialize, partition, and format the drive in your operating system. For best results, install the OS and critical applications on the new SSD to take advantage of its fast access times and reduced latency, then migrate data as needed from your previous storage drive.

Before using the drive, ensure you have fresh backups and a current system image. If you’re cloning from an existing drive, choose a cloning tool compatible with SATA SSDs and ensure the destination drive is properly formatted as GPT for UEFI systems or MBR for legacy BIOS setups, depending on your hardware configuration. In servers or workstations with multiple storage bays, you can benefit from configuring the S4620 as a dedicated OS disk or as a high-velocity data cache to accelerate performance for transactional workloads and software development environments.
