4th Gen AMD EPYC-Powered Dell PowerEdge R6625 server REVIEW | IT Creations

Doug Stuman with IT Creations. Today I have the Dell PowerEdge R6625 server. This is one of Dell’s 16th generation platforms or at least I think it is. Nobody cares about the generation anymore, just pop in a new processor and call it a day. Thankfully each generation for Dell does include a slight reference number change. In this case the 15th generation R6525 is now the R6625. See what they did there with that second digit? This one has dual 4th generation AMD EPYC CPUs with CPUs that can provide up to 128 cores of high-performance goodness, each. It’s based off next-gen Zen4 architecture, and even the next gen Zen4c architecture for AMDs recent EPYC CPU release. That would be like the 4th generation and a half I suppose…
At 1U, the Dell PowerEdge R6625 is the smaller sibling to the 2U Dell PowerEdge R7625 we did a few weeks back. You can see that here (Pointing). If this was an Intel based system, it would… Watch the video!

Thanks for the overeview.
Why would anybody put any SATA/SAS drives there? 2.5 inch mechanical drives have limited capacities, and you can get way more storage, performance, and iops with U.3 or E3 flash, and probably cheaper than Dell hard drives.
Would be nice to know power usage at idle.
Also, I think LOM can be upgraded to different options. It is not just 2x1G (it is just default).

I believe you are correct on all counts! U.3 May still be a bit more spendy but not by much at this point. And yes that LOM board can be upgraded too as it is a separate board. Thanks for watching!

Curious on whether sufficient air-cooling can be achieved for eg 2x 400w TDP CPU's in that thing? In a 1U rack there's very little headroom for heatsinks and small fans have to be used as well. I don't have previous experience with the cooling dynamics of rack-chassis so would love to be educated about it.
