Dell PowerEdge R750xs Servers – new and refurbished

FAQ

How does the R750xs differ from the standard R750?

The R750xs is a scaled-down variant of the R750 within the same 15th-generation lineup. It offers fewer PCIe slots and slightly more limited RAM expansion, but retains the core enterprise features: dual-processor support, redundant power supplies, NVMe compatibility, and iDRAC 9. For most businesses, the difference is barely noticeable - and the price is significantly lower.

How many virtual machines can the Dell PowerEdge R750xs handle?

With a dual Xeon Silver configuration and 128 GB of RAM, the server can comfortably run a dozen or more virtual machines in a VMware vSphere or Hyper-V environment. Configurations with 256 GB of RAM allow you to scale that number further while simultaneously running backups or a test environment.

Which processors are available in the R750xs from Hardware Direct?

Hardware Direct offers the R750xs with Intel Xeon Silver processors (including the 4310Y and 4410Y) as well as Xeon Gold options (5318Y, 6330). Both single- and dual-processor configurations are available - choose the setup that fits your actual workload without paying for performance you won't use.

Does the Dell R750xs support NVMe drives and RAID?

Yes. The R750xs supports NVMe (U.2), SAS, and SATA drives. Configurations featuring the PERC H755 or H755N controller offer RAID 5, 10, and 50. Systems supplied by Hardware Direct are delivered tested and ready to go, with the RAID controller pre-configured.

What business workloads is the R750xs suited for?

The R750xs works well as an application server, a virtualisation platform (VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox), a host for ERP and CRM systems, a SQL database server, and a corporate backup solution. It is a strong choice for businesses in manufacturing, e-commerce, finance, and logistics that need reliable, enterprise-grade hardware without over-investing.

Are R750xs servers available for immediate dispatch at Hardware Direct?

Yes, most configurations are in stock and available with a next-business-day delivery option. Servers are dispatched fully tested, complete with rack rails and iDRAC 9 Enterprise activated - ready to install and configure straight out of the box.
