The Dell PowerEdge C2100 is a 2U server from Dell\u2019s cloud (C-series) line: dual Intel Xeon 5500/5600 processors and up to twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, built for density and storage per dollar. It remains a favorite for storage-heavy budget builds – backup targets, media storage, lab and homelab arrays – which keeps steady search demand on it year after year.
Buying: IO South stocks tested refurbished C2100 systems. Selling: we buy C-series and other PowerEdge servers from decommissions. Request a quote, or get an offer on yours.
| Form factor | 2U rack |
|---|---|
| Processors | Dual Intel Xeon 5500 / 5600 series |
| Memory | 18 DDR3 DIMM slots |
| Storage | Up to 12x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays |
| Role | Storage-dense compute: backup, archive, lab builds |
Twelve large-format bays in 2U at secondary-market prices makes the C2100 a storage workhorse: backup and archive targets, surveillance storage, and lab or homelab arrays where capacity per dollar beats everything else on the sheet.
We hold real inventory rather than brokering, test before shipping, and warranty refurbished units. We also buy hardware back, so your retiring gear can fund the next build. Call 855-272-5044 or email info@iosouth.com.
Configuration sets it: CPUs, memory, and especially drives. Send what you need, or what you have, and we quote it the same business day. Refurbished units run far below original list.
That is its sweet spot: up to twelve 3.5-inch bays in 2U at secondary-market pricing makes it one of the cheapest routes to big, redundant storage.
Yes. IO South buys C-series and other PowerEdge servers from upgrades and decommissions. Call 855-272-5044 or email info@iosouth.com for an offer.
