This is the R750xs to reach for when NVMe storage performance is the primary design driver: vSAN ESA single-socket nodes, NVMe-oF target nodes, distributed NVMe storage at scale-out economics, and database platforms where sub-100 microsecond storage latency is the requirement at value-tier 2U pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: this R750xs is available Surplus New or Refurbished. Surplus New means genuinely unused excess inventory, never deployed, priced below Dell-direct new because it sits outside Dell's normal new-sales channel; the Wholesale Servers warranty applies either way. As a 15th gen platform, the R750xs is no longer sold factory-new by Dell, so we are straight about which condition you are quoting. Both conditions carry the same burn-in and inspection process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo configure a build, call 1-800-778-1545 or use the quote form on this page.
