I worked in Dell's CFS facility in Round Rock with a 3rd party company for a few years. I was in charge of the custom server rack integration team, The 710/720 series was one of my favorite servers to work with due to their reliability. I despised the C6000 series cloud servers though, never seemed to work right
Wow
Two dishwashers? Thats actually great idea.
Lot of useful information on this video.
i seriously want to see hes reasons for having two dishwashers
+Ralph Fonz GOD DAMNIT PEOPLE IM 2 SECONDS AWAY FROM BUYING TWO DISHWASHERS I NEED THESE REASONS TO JUSTIFY IT TO THE SALES PERSON. I NEED THESE REASONS PLZ
Having 2 Dishwashers removes the need for loading the clean dishes into cabinets. One DW is labeled as clean and you put the dirty dishes into the other DW. Then after the dirty DW goes through the wash cycle, it is labeled as clean and the other DW is labeled as dirty. Saves a lot of work loading dishes.
Saad Husain THANK YOU!!!
i forgot he had kids
Double buffering
I could listen to Wendell go on about servers all day :)
Very nice review! More server reviews please!
Thou' this might be too hardcore for most of viewers who are looking for home-server or something similar. So maybe if you can review something like Supermicro's small 1U Superserver barebones or out of the box servers, since those are propably enough for most of us as a fileserver, pfsense router or teamspeak server or something like that.
This might not be what you guys tend to do, but it'd be really awesome if you made some introductory videos about servers and stuff. I could probably search up the basics, but since this is an area of tech most gamers don't know about/ aren't too interesting in, it'd be really cool if you guys made an interesting video on it. Just a suggestion :)
can we get a server room tour?
You have the perfect fuckin' voice for reviews and talk shows. Lower, smooth, and light. Keep this shit up
So glad you guys are trying this sort of content out. It's really helpful to get a seasoned professional's opinion on this stuff rather than a salesman.
Another Enterprise review :)
I love reviews on Enterprise/Commercial Grade products. Mostly because they're very cheap about 3 years later on eBay. I'd rather get a 3 year old HP Elitebook for $400 that was worth $2,000 three years ago than to get a new $350 Laptop from Walmart. Though I haven't seen cheap hand-me-down servers from eBay that are only 3 years old, but it's good to be in the know!
I have no idea what he is on about, but I need Wendel's smooth voice to lull me to sleep at night.
This is great. I sure would love to see more server vids. Also maybe do a solid server build custom something like a shared infra like dell's vrtx. I am debating a few things so keep 'em coming.
This channel definitely needs more server videos, keep 'em coming! Also, I would also like to see some Icy Dock / iStarUSA / Lian Li hot-swap bay device reviews as those are pretty hard to come by.
Gotta say, Dell enterprise options are pretty great, consumer, not so much...
Please keep doing reviews about servers and other enterprise level stuff.
270 or 720
He keeps saying R270 in the beginning of the video
Thank you for the indepth review of this Dell 720R Blade Server. It is very very informative I like that you ordered it with 128 megs of ram. one thing I did not catch was is the mem ddr3 or ddr4 just out of curiosity. FInally dell made the uefi so that any on the fly changes do not require a reboot. The clients we support buying Dell servers use the floor chassis T420 and in even the 2104 models the eufi changes require a reboot. The same with idrac as well. I emailed my idrac support rep asking if Dell is going to push a firmware update that will allow on the fly idrac and eufi changes without a reboot, still waiting for a reply. Thank you for the video very good internal review and explaination.
Do you mean 128 GB?
xAFKNinjax I idid mean gigs please excuse me.
Yes .. More server stuff ! I love it. Keep up the good work. Me personally I am interested in Visualization and Storage. I do this for a living, and I am always interested in anyone knowledgeable's ideas and thought on opensource distro's. Be it Nas or more VM based. I am interested in all of it ! Thanks Wendell :)
2 years in I'm still loving my R720, rock solid reliability! Though the 2Ghz 8C CPUs are showing their age when I try to run certain work loads that favor higher clocked cores vs more of them.
Nice. This is why I love you guys. No other tech channel on RUclips covers enterprise grade stuff.
I actually just bought a Poweredge 1950 III a few weeks ago to run ESXi on. I've got buyer's remorse now after seeing this, even though I would have never been able to afford this thing. ;_;
What an awesome setup, would love to see more of this, I just bought a used R710 for labbing purposes. Just achieved my MCSA with it and am headed for MCSE private cloud. Was the idrac in two flavors on this one too? I had to pay an extra $27 for the idrac 6 enterprise. And my PSUs are 570w power saving but I do not believe they have a 80 plus rating. I love how Dell now includes the little pcie power connectors on yours. I have the perc 6/I Controller pcie with battery backup and have been pretty happy with it so far. I run vSphere 6.0u2 with about 19 VMs including a HA cluster(for lab only since it's not technically HA with one physical sever). 2x X5560s 32GB RAM and only a couple SAS drives. But definitely a good starting point for me. Awesome video guys really enjoyed it.
R7120 is great, we use them as Vhosts in a RHELVM Cluster. They do everything well and for a reasonable price (When talking about fully supported rack machines).
Clip at the end.. mind blown.
Thanks for telling me about the bios performance setting at the end. Useful info.
having two dish washers is great btw
Another great review, fantastic camera work, great narration, overall 10/10 review guys!
I really don't understand why someone would hit thumbs down on a perfectly executed video can someone explain why you hit dislike? Everything is top notch the lighting, audio, the camera work, and Wendell's narration. Nice job TeKSyN.
You can put a boot SSD (although a USB would be a cheaper alternative) instead of a CD/DVD-ROM. There are "fake" DVD-roms for sale on Ebay which you can take apart and you can put your SSD in there! :D. Its pretty cool.
Dam had me at 2 dishwashers. What a documentary that would have been.
Wicked review cool to see the internal layout and thanks for running the benchmarks.
But can this run Minecraft?
I bet you could create the real world (the earth and every city) in minecraft with this RAM capacity :P
are you kidding me, this struggles to load solitaire, and it's much less demanding then minesweeper.
theodoro89 minecraft is bigger you know?
If you used this for a gaming pc you would be utterly unimpressed...
***** dumb commenter is dumb...
I was wondering why the video was listed as un-watched, you fixed the audio!
This looks quite nice, but I know nothing about server-grade stuff besides being expensive but very powerful for its uses.
OMG I have a surface RT! I am waiting for that full video of the teaser at the end! Can't wait!
And it is so modular exchangable, very good for a server for IT nerds like me they playing around with the servers
3:19 wow, so many extension slots you see not everywhere on a server. A clear plus point for me who put many cards in servers for playing around...
Love the videos. I've been wanting to learn about servers for some time now, but I don't even know where to start.
Yes! This is why I love you guys. A high end PC that isn't for gaming. Thanks for doing this Wendel. :D
Please make more Server videos!!
That two dishwasher thing probably has some merit, but a pair of full-sized machines is probably cumbersome.
I did see a setup like that in amazon's breakroom in dublin though.
Just installed one of these at my University. Awesome.
Surface RT part at the end. It got all of my interest, I've been wanting to put my Surface 2 to work on something other than just reading manga.
Thanks for doing the review! I know you're enterprise viewership isn't large but it's there. Can possibily help me.
Very good video. Would have like more videos about servers and server components. It would be nice to have a more in depth video on redundant PSU's and the pros and cons of them.
Awesome review Wendell!
Why does he keep saying R two seventy? It's an R seven twenty!!!
+ady7970 Because R 270 is real close to to sounding like an AMD R9 270
I loved this video. Please more server and enterprise tech with Wendell and Logan I would love to be able to view this sort of tech without buying it first
do a vid teaching us this please.
That loop at 5:20 haha
Great video guys
i love these videos, i want to learn about this kind of stuff but i can't afford to just go, buy and try it out, so this is the next best thing.
God, I love when Tek uploads a new video while I'm watching some of their old videos. Hooray for new content, bitches.
You guys should do a video about Opterons too
I called Dell to get a quote for a R270. They laughed and hung up...
Watching this while working on a R710, lol.
That 8bit music at the end, more of that! :D
MOAR SERVER VIDEOS!!!!!
Did not expect a Wendell here but makes sense.
I imagine rendering video on this. Parts of me are tingling.
But then I remember I'm still on ye old Q6600. The poor thing, it's been through so much. Worked for so long. And there is no end in sight.
Great, some enterprise hardware videos for once. Really lovin it. Sad to see the features this has compared to my poweredge 2950, haha.
Great Video Wendell provides very good knowledge on hardware tech...Thats why im here for the knowledge
more videos like these please.... PRETTY PLEASE.......
High tech with Wendell. Great video Wendell.
Looks like a nice machine. 10k$ on our market for this one.
4 years later, I'm getting one for $350 with 2x e5-2640 v2 and 256GG ddr3l , that's wild.
I really enjoy this kind of videos
Love your server grade stuff! If you guys can get hold of the the Asus P9A-I motherboard, please review that. I think its an awesome bigger brother version of the Asus Avoton board you already reviewed.
Awesome tek, always wanted to know how servers worked.
Those PSUs are very impressive for the size!
Hm, something important from your regular videos is missing here... Yeah - the DIY-side of it whole! It would be really really cool to see some kind of ghetto alternative with parts that can be found on ebay or pulled from an old PC or something like that. A DIY alternative that might not be as good as this or really keep up to the quality of the Dell, but still would be comparable to it. :)
Great review - Great content!
More of this please!
Wendell I love your videos your voice is so relaxing!
Now if only we had some cheap WD RED 2.5 4-6TB drives to go in the front bays
I know it's a super-old video, but you mention you've put in Samsung SSDs too.. Were they SATA or SAS? I have an issue with SATA SSDs, the drive leds are always lit and there's no blinking for any of them. They work just fine, it's only that there's no feedback, no blinking.... Anyone had this?
Lol nice BFG. I've been using a BFG 8800GT as my coaster for 3 years now lmao.
I've got a poweredge 1850 sitting in my room two dual core xeons with HT @2.8ghrz and 2 gigs of ram thinking about adding more memory and starting up a 9v9 turbine pro tf2 server
I have an older dual socket PowerEdge, is purrdy good.
Lets say, hypothetically, I had a lot of money. Could I use this for something as simple as storing tons of movies and series on and use it to watch those movies around the house?
Wendell the wise schooling us as usual. Thank you sir. \m/
Excellent video guys as usual. And to all those super sensitive trolls who live in their mom's sound proof basement; stop complaining about the audio so much. #teksyndicate is offering these video FREE OF CHARGE and it takes excruciating amount of sweat & work to get these videos going. Here is a suggestion for all you whiners; if you don't like a video from ANY CHANNEL, stop watching it and make it yourself from that super awesome Audio Editing equipment that your mom bought you few Christmas ago.
Is it funny about drives? I have an R710with a PERC-800 and it balks at some standard 1TB drives but my x3650m3 is fine with them. Puts me off going for another Dell.
Dell servers are a hardware techs worst nightmare. Cheap material, "service handles" tending to break with minimal force, everything can go wrong when you open the lid and put your hands in one of those. Unlike HP and Lenovos. Even changing a service tag is out of this world on a board replacement. Video is awesome tho!
how might a server benefit from a gfx? and could you technicly use this as a super redundant desktop.
Not a real raid adapter without a battery backup? ZFS fixes the raid5 write hole so that's okay.
Oh Wendell. That intro. Lol
Like the server content! But it may be out of your audiences price range. Try to get review of HP micro server or Lenovo TS140/ts440
Thanks for the video! Can't wait to start dabbing in esxi
I was configuring, just for funsies, a R730 but when I selected RAID 5 I couldn't select Linux.
Would this server good for Vray node 3D rendering?
Omg I'm totally getting a 2nd dishwasher
Guys when are you releasing the video of how to get Skyrim on that SurfaceRT? Was it just streaming?
...and there was me looking forward to a quirky video from Wendell.
_Why_ do we need 2 dishwashers? Don't leave us hanging.
"One clean, one dirty" would be my guess.
Amazing! Can we use this as a main system to work in 3D? Rendering etc?
I have one MAJOR QUESTION! Why the hell would ANYONE want a random usb port for NAS when you have the entire server in and of itself??? The only thing i can think is for diagnostics or recovery incase of a software accident but windows server 2003, 2008, and 2012 are rock solid OSs tho...
The actual point of the USB port inside the chassis is that some really high end server software/hardware use flash drives as a verification key, instead of just a serial number. This way you can plug it inside the machine and not worry about losing a port or someone taking it out. What Wendel meant though is that since freeNAS is typically run off a USB drive, as opposed to being installed on a hard drive/ssd, you could also use that port for that purpose and have freeNAS run your server hardware
Love the Wendell reviews
Wouldn't some part of the RAM overheat since the heatsink for the cpu is almost touching it?
price and tests link is broken
omg. shut up and take my money! i came. repeatedly.
Why would i want 2 dish washer i have one and i dont use it, i use it to hold other dishes
Just wondering, isn't this something for TekEnterprise instead of Tek Syndicate? Or is it just posted here because of the higher sub count?
Can i have a compact 1000w 80+ platinum psu please.
Thanks
you planing of making more server vidos ?? :) this one is really helpful becuse i am doing with dedicated server setup gaming server rakc servers
