A quad-core E5640 with 12GB of ECC memory is modest by current standards but entirely adequate for file serving, print serving, domain controller duties in a lab, or as a secondary machine handling backups and scheduled jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe 746GB of SAS storage is supplied and working, which distinguishes this from the many bare R710 chassis on the market. Combined with the fitted DVD-RW, it is a machine you can rack, power on and install to immediately — useful when working with older operating systems or offline media that assume an optical drive is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eFor buyers evaluating this against newer hardware, be realistic about the trade-off. Westmere-EP is several generations old and draws more power for less work than a modern equivalent. The case for the R710 is cost and familiarity, not efficiency: it is an inexpensive way to add a known-good, well-documented server to a lab or secondary role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3
