Looney...that covers the CPU really well (is why I selected the i7-4770 cpu). I was more so referring to case sizes. The USFF can only handle 1 x 2.5" HD and maybe a 2nd 2.5" HD if remove slimline optical drive. No place to put a 3.5" drive. From what I looked into, WD Purple does not come in 2.5" version, only 3.5". The SFF optiplex case does 3.5" though.
One thing to note: this Dell Optiplex USFF has the i7-4770S cpu. Which has a base frequency of 3.2ghz as compared to the standard i7-4770 of 3.6ghz. As stated in the Cliff Notes, this USFF has a smaller CPU designation (I assume because has to work with smaller PSU)
