Dell PowerEdge R660 (New)
What Is the Dell PowerEdge R660?
The R660 is the 1U dual-socket model of Dell’s 16th-generation PowerEdge family. It accepts two 4th Generation (Sapphire Rapids) or 5th Generation (Emerald Rapids) Intel Xeon Scalable processors, with 32 DDR5 DIMMs, PCIe Gen5 and E3.S front-storage options in a single rack-unit chassis.
It is the dense counterpart to the best-selling 2U R760: the same proven DDR5/Gen5 platform in a 1U form factor, chosen for VMware/Hyper-V and KVM hosts, web and container farms, all-flash 1U storage and high-density data centers where rack space is the constraint. We ship it new through our channel at export pricing.

R660 Specifications in Detail
Processors: dual 4th/5th Gen Xeon, up to 128 cores in 1U
The two sockets accept Sapphire Rapids (4th Gen) and Emerald Rapids (5th Gen) Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs, from Silver 4400-series to the Platinum 8592+, up to 64 cores per socket — 128 cores per host — at up to 385 W. Emerald Rapids brings 5600 MT/s DDR5. Send your vCPU and licensing targets and we will specify the exact SKU.
Memory: 32 DDR5 DIMMs, up to 8 TB with CXL 1.1
For a 1U platform the R660 offers a large memory footprint: 32 DDR5 RDIMM slots at 4800/5600 MT/s, 16–256 GB modules, an 8 TB ceiling and CXL 1.1 memory expansion. We match DIMM vendor, rank and speed to your fleet.
Storage: 10 × 2.5″ or 10 × E3.S, up to 10 NVMe
Front backplanes span 4 × 3.5″, 10 × 2.5″ SAS/SATA/NVMe, or the NVMe-optimized 10 × E3.S layout, with up to ten NVMe drives. Controllers span the PERC 12 H355/H755/H755N/H965i family plus HBA465; a BOSS-N1 dual-M.2 boot card is available.
PCIe Gen5, power and management
Three PCIe Gen5 riser slots and OCP 3.0 networking carry Gen5 NVMe and high-speed adapters in the 1U chassis. Redundant hot-plug PSUs range from 800 W to 2400 W. Management uses iDRAC9 and OpenManage Enterprise, with TPM 2.0, signed firmware and Silicon Root of Trust.
R660 vs R760 vs R670: Which Intel Server Do You Need?
| PowerEdge R660 (16G, 1U) | PowerEdge R760 (16G, 2U) | PowerEdge R670 (17G, 1U) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processors | 2 × 4th/5th Gen Xeon | 2 × 4th/5th Gen Xeon | 2 × Intel Xeon 6 Granite Rapids |
| Cores (max) | 128 total | 128 total | Up to 288 E-core total |
| Memory | 32 × DDR5-4800/5600, 8 TB | 32 × DDR5-4800/5600, 8 TB | 32 × DDR5-6400/MRDIMM, 8 TB |
| Front storage | 10 × 2.5″ / 10 × E3.S | Up to 24 × 2.5″ | Up to 40 × E3.S |
| Max NVMe | Up to 10 | Up to 24 | Up to 40 |
| PCIe / GPU | 3 × Gen5 | 8 × Gen5; 2 × 350W GPU | 5 × Gen5; low-profile |
| Best fit | Proven 1U DDR5 density | 2U expansion and GPUs | Newest 1U flagship, max cores/E3.S |
Rule of thumb: want proven 4th/5th Generation Xeon in the fewest rack units? Choose the R660. Need 2U expansion, 24 NVMe or double-width GPUs? Choose the R760. Want the newest Xeon 6 platform? Choose the R670.
