Ask me any questions you have about 12Gen Dell servers
We have our first R720 in the datacenter here and we are putting it through it's paces, if anyone has any inquiries about it please let me know.

Is that some kind of advertising?

No, just like every other time we get a new platform, I am going to post benchmarks, etc and we aren't selling them, since we only have 1.

As soon as I finish installing a bunch of different OS on it, that will be my next stop =)

Let me know how you like the 720, I just asked the boss to order a pair of them.
We LOVE the 710's great boxes, super reliable, no problems at all but I really want to get my hands on some E5's so I asked the boss to take a risk and get me some 720's!

The one thing I find a bit odd but it isn't a show stopper is that Windows 2003 has no drivers at all. Of course, with a box this expensive it's probably a non-issue; but still 2k3 is 'officially supported' by Microsoft for a little while longer.
After I update all of my 2k8/2k8r2 boot images with the new drivers I may see if broadcom or LSI have published direct drivers.

I am a little surprised that the 2xE5-2620 is substantially slower than 2xX5650 but I suppose there is a good difference in clock speed, and of course price.Last edited by XLHost; 03-20-2012 at 10:31 AM. Reason: thoughts on x5650

Does the disk tray in R710 fit into R720? I assume so ...
