Easy to set up, easy to add components. Leave RAID setting alone.
This is my second Dell Inspiron. My first has an i7-7700 processor which is not supported by Windows 11. Plus, I’ve had it for 7 years, so it was getting long in the tooth anyway. I upgraded to this Inspiron 3030 with an i7-14700 processor and Win 11 Pro. I intentionally decided to go with the single, 1TB SSD because I wanted to move the 250 GB SSD and 1TB HD from my older machine to this newer one. The Inspiron started well and, after the normal Dell/Windows initialization routine, it ran properly; no muss, no fuss. I then began to move components over from my old Inspiron to this new one.Before I started, I read the user’s manual to familiarize myself with the contents of the case. Opening the case is actually quite simple; two thumbscrews and you’re in. (No screwdriver required.) Adding a 7-port USB 3.0 PCIe card was as simple as pulling on a tab, inserting the card, and closing the tab. (Again, no screws involved.) As for adding my older hard drives, inside the 3030’s case is a power harness for three additional SATA drives/cards, and a spare SATA data cable. Moving my 250GB SSD and 1TB HD (both AHCI) from my old machine to the new machine was easy; just unscrew the drive caddy from the old machine and screw it onto the case of the new machine, plug in the power cables and the SATA cables, close the case, and reboot. Bingo! The drives were present and accounted for. (The old drives needed different drive letters assigned (per my desires), and the old SSD (which was the old OS disk with Win 10 Home installed) had to be reconfigured and reformatted to a Data disk, but that was easily done via Disk Management.)Now, many people have said that you have to change the Inspiron 3030’s BIOS setting from the default “RAID” to “AHCI” when installing AHCI drives. However, this is not the case; at least for this particular model. After much review and research (read the owners manual!), I realized that there was no need to change the new Dell’s BIOS storage setting to “AHCI” from the default “RAID” setting. (The Inspiron 3030’s “RAID” setting actually does NOT have a true RAID function and thus does not have to reformat the drives when an additional drive is added.) In the event, I just plugged in the new drives, rebooted, and they were recognized without any problem. Of course, I had backed up everything and had a Recovery Disk handy if anything went sideways.So, long story short, I am satisfied with this machine (I’m writing this review using it). It is already much faster than my old machine, which saves me lots of time when processing and moving large files. Good product, good price. 5 stars.

New, fast, Windows 11
Replaces an ancient HP desktop that was hot stuff back in the day. This Dell loads about 20 times faster, what with the SSD instead of an HD. It has a DVD drive, which is increasingly rare, and I have a lot of old pictures and whatnot on discs that I’m only slowly getting around to. Price is reasonable, it has a full slate of ports, runs quietly, doesn’t take up much space.Dell’s OEM keyboard is about standard for this sort of thing; I prefer a mechanical board and will replace that. Everything else is fine. I’m not a heavy-duty gamer and I don’t do a lot of photoshop, so this machine fills all my needs just fine. I’d recommend it as being a good, basic desktop. Longevity? We’ll see.Aside from having some icons rearranged, I don’t see a lot of difference between Windows 10 and 11. Either does everything I need. Actually, XP did everything I needed, and generally faster. You can’t stop “progress”, I guess, but I wouldn’t at all mind a stripped-down Windows that omitted all the A.I. copilot stuff and a ton of other never-used features. That’s what I like about my tablet’s Chrome system. Sleek, fast, lightweight.You’re looking for a medium fast desktop with 16 GB memory, a 1 TB drive and a DVD tray, this Dell should suit you well enough.

Love it
I am so happy with my new computer. It was very easy to hook up and it runs flawlessly. Very fast and it’s smaller than my old one. I would buy it again.

So far, so good
Just day three with this new box, but setup is a breeze. I appreciate the smaller footprint, the nicer and more convenient connections: plug and play. Bluetooth and printer setups were the only snags and like so much tech support these days Dell insists you read the help forums and interact with a largely clueless AI before getting a real person. Both problems cleared up when I disconnected and reconnected. I really see the speed upgrade from my old unit. Startup is done before I know it, internet connectivity is fast and smooth. We’ll see what the future might hold, but so far so good—knock on wood.

Really like it
I replaced an older Dell with this model. It is much smaller than the older model and it’s much faster. It has lots of external ports, which is needed in my configuration. I’m very happy with it so far.

Great PC
This Inspiron was very easy to setup and is a great replacement for my 8+ years old Dell XPS system.

Very disappointed with Amazon
Received a brand new computer which was defective right out of the box, and which I had purchased at a sale price. Immediately asked Amazon for a replacement. Their policy, as cited in their answer, was that I must send back the defective computer for a refund and only then buy a new one. But by then the new one (exact same computer) cost $200 more than I had paid just a week before. I ended up dealing directly with Dell, who eventually made good on it.
