Dell PowerEdge R660xs 1U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R660xs is a 16th Generation cost-optimized 1U rack server powered by 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 32 cores per socket and DDR5 memory. It delivers the latest-generation platform at a lower price than the full-featured R660, with 16 DDR5 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB of memory when both processors are installed.
Enterasource offers the R660xs configured to order. Each server is tested through our multi-point hardware diagnostic process and backed by a 2-year Enterasource warranty.
The R660xs includes iDRAC9 management, up to 2x 75W low-profile GPUs, and multiple 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive configurations. For scale-out deployments where DDR5 performance matters but the R660's 32 DIMM slots and E3.S NVMe are not required, the R660xs delivers 16G value.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Dell R660xs and R660?
Both are 16th Gen 1U servers with the same 4th Gen Xeon Scalable platform and DDR5 memory. The R660xs is cost-optimized with 16 DIMM slots (vs 32), max 1.5 TB RAM with both processors installed (vs 8 TB), no E3.S NVMe support, and no DLC option. The R660xs costs less per node.
What generation is the Dell R660xs?
The Dell PowerEdge R660xs is a 16th Generation (16G) server using 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids) with DDR5 memory.
How much does a refurbished Dell R660xs cost?
Pricing depends on processor, memory, and storage configuration. The R660xs is specified in conversation rather than configured online — Dell sells this model through its sales team rather than an online cart, and we handle it the same way. Tell us the chassis you need (4x 3.5-inch, 8x 2.5-inch, or 10x 2.5-inch), the processors, and the memory and storage capacity, and our team in Irvine, California will come back with a complete configuration and price.
