- PowerEdge R650 / R660 — 15th/16th-gen 1U with DDR5 and PCIe Gen5 on R660.
- PowerEdge R740 / R750 / R760 — 2U mainstream platforms for storage-heavy virtualization.
- PowerEdge R7525 / R7625 — dual AMD EPYC 2U with huge core counts and NVMe density.
Shop HPE ProLiant rack servers
- ProLiant DL360 Gen10 / Gen11 — HPE’s 1U staple for virtualization and general compute.
- ProLiant DL380 Gen10 / Gen11 / Gen12 — the best-selling 2U server in the world, deep in stock at PCSP.
- ProLiant DL385 Gen10 / Gen11 — 2U dual AMD EPYC with GPU support.
Looking for something else? Browse GPU servers for AI and inference, tower servers for office deployments, or AMD EPYC servers for maximum core density.
How to choose a rack server
1U vs 2U: a 1U server maximizes compute per rack unit and is ideal when your storage lives on a SAN or in the cloud. A 2U server adds drive bays (up to 24× SFF or 12× LFF), more PCIe slots, and quieter, more efficient cooling — the right call for storage-heavy virtualization, backup targets, and GPU workloads.
Intel vs AMD: Intel Xeon platforms (R640, R750, DL360, DL380) offer the widest compatibility and the deepest refurbished supply. AMD EPYC platforms (R7525, R7625, DL385) win on cores per socket and PCIe lanes — fewer sockets, lower licensing costs.
Generation: 13th/14th-gen Dell (R630/R640/R740) and HPE Gen9/Gen10 deliver unbeatable value per dollar. 15th/16th-gen (R650/R750, R660/R760, Gen11) add DDR5, PCIe Gen5, and current-platform performance at well below list price.
Every PCSP rack server is fully tested, backed by a 1-year warranty (extendable to 5), and ships fast from the US. Volume pricing is available for rack-scale and multi-node deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rack server?
A rack server is a computer built to mount in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Height is measured in rack units (U): a 1U server is 1.75 inches tall, a 2U server is 3.5 inches. Rackmount design lets you stack dozens of servers in a single cabinet with shared power and cooling.
Should I buy a 1U or 2U rack server?
Choose 1U for dense compute — virtualization hosts, web farms, and colocation where rack space is billed per U. Choose 2U when you need more local storage bays, GPU support, or additional PCIe expansion. 2U servers also run quieter because they use larger fans.
Are refurbished rack servers reliable?
Yes. Enterprise rack servers are engineered for 24/7 data-center duty cycles. Every PCSP server is fully tested before shipping and backed by a 1-year warranty, extendable to 5 years.
Can I get a configuration that is not in stock?
Yes. Any rack server not currently in stock is available to build to your spec by quote — request a quote and we will configure and price it, usually within hours.
Which rack server brands do you carry?
Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant make up most of our inventory, alongside Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS, and Supermicro. All are enterprise-class refurbished systems with the same testing and warranty.
