There are less drive bays than the r710, but that shouldn’t matter with my Synology NAS. It was also a 1u, as opposed to the r710’s 2u form-factor. In regards to PassMark, I was looking at an upgrade from a score of 10,420 to a score of 13,262. Meanwhile, the r420 had the dual Intel Xeon E5-2430s at 2.2GHz. The r710 was running dual Intel Xeon X5650s at 2.67GHz. Processor wise, I was looking at newer, faster, and more efficient processors. I could not pass up this deal, and it would make a great upgrade to my setup. This server also came with the iDRAC Enterprise, and some license keys for vCloud Enterprise, vCenter, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. I picked up an r420 locally for an incredible bargain after some searching! Since I’ve had the r710 for almost 4 years, it was time for a bigger upgrade. I added a Dell r420 to my lab recently, and I’m really enjoying the upgrade.
