Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 28 cores and 56 threads from dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors deliver serious compute power for virtualization and databases
- 128GB DDR4 RAM with room to expand up to 1.5TB across the platform's 24 DIMM slots

- Dual 10Gb SFP+ networking ports provide high-bandwidth connectivity without requiring add-in cards
- Dual 750W redundant power supplies ensure uptime during a single PSU failure
👎 Cons
- As a renewed unit, cosmetic imperfections and shorter remaining component lifespan should be expected
- The E5-2690 v4 processors are based on the older Broadwell-EP architecture, lacking features found in current-generation Xeons
- Ships with only 4 of 24 drive bays populated, so reaching full storage capacity requires purchasing additional drives
- Power consumption and noise levels are typical of enterprise 2U servers, making it impractical for home or office environments without dedicated space
- At 137+ lbs fully loaded, physical installation requires rack infrastructure and likely two people
