Our take on the FS.com RS5220 2U Rack Server

The FS.com RS5220 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It takes two Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs (up to 22 cores each), up to 1TB of 2933MHz memory, and eight hot-swappable 3.5"/2.5" drive bays; this configuration ships with three 4TB drives and an 800W redundant power supply. Dual 1GBase-T ports are the only networking, so it suits general file, backup and virtualization duty rather than high-throughput networking. It is a value-priced alternative to brand-name servers, and pricing on this listing should be checked against the recent range before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the RS5220 worth it compared with a Dell or HPE server?
It costs less for similar core hardware: dual sockets, eight hot-swap bays and redundant power. The trade-off is a smaller support network and only 1GbE networking. Buy it if price and storage density matter more than brand service.
Does it come with drives and memory installed?
This configuration lists three 4TB 3.5-inch drives installed. Memory is listed as up to 1TB, so confirm how much RAM is actually included before ordering.
Can I add 10GbE networking?
The board ships with two 1GBase-T ports. Adding 10GbE depends on available PCIe slots, which are not listed here, so check with the seller before relying on it.
How deep is the rack I need?
The chassis is 25.9 inches (660mm) deep. Use a rack at least 30 inches deep to leave room for cabling and airflow.
What CPUs does it support?
It has two Intel sockets supporting up to 22 cores per CPU. The listed chip runs at 2.20GHz with 13.75MB cache, so confirm the exact model included.
When is the price lowest?
Server pricing moves with component costs and promotions. Compare the current price against its recent range on this page rather than assuming list price is the norm.
