About This Product
Overview
The HPE StoreEasy 1650 Storage Server 12LFF is built as a 2U storage-focused rack server for enterprise NAS and file storage environments. With support for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processors, it provides a flexible foundation for storage workloads that need dependable server architecture and centralized data access. The platform includes 12 large form factor drive bays, making it suitable for configurations that prioritize capacity and organized drive expansion. Integrated HPE Smart Array RAID and iLO4 remote management add practical administration features for IT teams that need visibility and control in a rack-mounted deployment. This unit is offered without RAM and without drives, allowing buyers to configure the system to match their specific storage requirements.
Performance & Scalability
Designed around the LGA2011-3 socket and DDR4 ECC Registered Memory support, this storage server is intended to work with enterprise-class components that align with demanding file storage use cases. The Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processor support gives administrators a broad range of compatible CPU options for balancing workload needs and system design. The 2U chassis format helps keep the server manageable in rack environments while still providing room for 12 drive bays, which is useful for building storage arrays with a focus on capacity and RAID organization. HPE Smart Array RAID support is an important feature for storage planning, helping integrate drive management into a structured server deployment. For organizations building a dedicated NAS or file server, this platform offers a practical base for scaling storage resources within a familiar enterprise hardware ecosystem.
Storage Flexibility
The 12x 3.5" LFF drive bay layout gives this system a strong starting point for storage-centric builds that require larger capacity drives. Because the server is supplied without drives, it can be populated according to the needs of the deployment, whether the goal is file sharing, backup storage, or general enterprise data retention. The integrated RAID capability supports structured drive configurations, which is especially useful when planning for redundancy or performance tuning within a NAS environment. The large form factor bays are well suited to storage builds where capacity and serviceability are important, and the 2U design keeps the platform compact enough for standard rack installations. This makes the StoreEasy 1650 a versatile choice for IT teams looking to assemble a storage server around their preferred drive and memory configuration.
Why Choose This Product?
The HPE StoreEasy 1650 Storage Server 12LFF is a solid option for buyers who need an enterprise storage chassis with established HPE management and RAID features. Its support for Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors, DDR4 ECC Registered Memory, and iLO4 remote management makes it a capable platform for controlled, rack-based storage deployments.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
