Here the Dell PowerEdge R260 1U rack server comes with one 6-core Intel Xeon E-2436 at 2.90GHz alongside 16GB of DDR5. For storage it carries a 2TB 7.2K SATA hard drive and a 960GB SATA SSD (2.96TB combined), filling every bay of the 2-bay 3.5-inch chassis.
Supporting hardware includes PERC S160 software RAID, dual-port 1GbE RJ45 networking (Broadcom 5720) and a 450W power supply. You also get an iDRAC9 Basic licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
Use it for domain services, a modest file server, backups for a small office or as a lab host. Cores and memory sit in a balanced ratio for mixed workloads. Console access, power control and hardware alerts stay available over the management port whatever state the operating system is in.
It is one of the lighter-memory R260 builds; a configuration with more memory is the step up for memory-bound workloads. The 6 cores are half as much again as the count of a lighter R260 build, so more work runs in parallel.
Condition is certified refurbished, and each server is inspected, bench-tested and wiped in Johannesburg.

Frequently asked questions
How much raw storage does this PowerEdge R260 have?
- 1 × 2TB 7.2K SATA HDD plus 1 × 960GB SATA SSD, 2.96TB of raw capacity in total. Usable space depends on the RAID level you configure.
Is there room to add more drives?
- Every bay of the 2-bay 3.5-inch chassis is populated in this configuration, so adding capacity means larger drives rather than more of them.
How many processor cores does it have?
- One Intel Xeon E-2436 with 6 cores at a 2.90GHz base clock: 6 physical cores in total, backed by 16GB of memory.
Does it include remote management?
- Yes. The configuration lists an iDRAC9 Basic licence, which provides out-of-band management (power control and hardware monitoring) independent of the operating system.
