The Dell PowerEdge R250 is a 15th Generation entry-level single-socket 1U rack server powered by Intel Xeon E-2300 processors with up to 8 cores and PCIe Gen 4 support. It is the most affordable 15G server, designed for small business, remote office, and edge deployments.

Enterasource offers the R250 configured to order. Each server is tested through our multi-point hardware diagnostic process and backed by a 2-year Enterasource warranty.

The R250 features iDRAC9 with Redfish API, up to 4x 3.5-inch drive bays, BOSS-S1 M.2 boot, and a compact 585mm chassis depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Dell R250 still worth buying?

Yes, for a narrow brief. The R250 is worth buying as a single-purpose server for small business, branch and edge sites — a domain controller, file server, backup target, or one line-of-business application. It is a 15th Generation 1U with a single Intel Xeon E-2300 processor at up to 8 cores, four DDR4 ECC UDIMM slots to 128 GB at 3200 MT/s, PCIe Gen 4, iDRAC9 with Redfish API, and a compact 585 mm chassis depth that fits shallow racks and wall cabinets. It is not a virtualization host at scale: one socket, a 128 GB memory ceiling, and cabled power supplies rather than hot-swap redundant. Choose the R350 instead if you need redundant hot-swap PSUs and 2.5-inch bays.

What generation is the Dell R250?

The Dell PowerEdge R250 is a 15th Generation (15G) entry-level server using Intel Xeon E-2300 processors. The predecessor is the R240 (14G).

How much does a refurbished Dell R250 cost?

Pricing depends on processor, memory, and storage configuration. Enterasource builds every R250 to order with a 2-year warranty and free ground shipping to the lower 48 states.
