Pros & Cons
Pros
Kudos to stalliontek for delivering the z620 quickly. It was well packaged and arrived on time.
Dual-core 2670 xeons are a great compromise for software development or small ml/ai workloads. It's probably about 20 times faster than my wx6600 on the same workload. I'm sure the raid controller in them will be able to handle the ssds (much faster t... Read More
They seem to become available in spurts, so if you are on the fence about getting one, grab it while you can. The xeon e5-2670's are a great deal at the moment after large tech companies unloaded tons of them onto the renewal market. All-in-all a grea... Read More
Very clean inside with only a few scuff marks on the outside. Installed ubuntu 23 from a usb drive. It takes 3 drives nicely and they are surprisingly easy to put in. I'm glad i went to the source and had them install the hd and os for me. But, it tak... Read More
Cons
The exterior of this unit in no way meets the no visible damage from 12 inches claim, looks like it was dragged on either side everywhere it went. If i remove the stick from the machine then it works fine however then it's 88gb ram and not 96gb.
Highlights
Quality
They are modular and the system construction is very robust reminding me of the old apple g4's in their quality build.
Quality equipment, will continue to purchase when available.
The backplane cabling for hotswap bay 2 was dying and the drive would disappear every 2-4 weeks.
Last july i purchased this old but still powerful computer to upgrade my nas, this thing is a beast it handles everybody at once no lag!
Price
Seriously though, this thing is a steal at this price and can be purposed to do a lot of things.
This is a great upgrade for a reasonable price, and based on my experience i feel the seller cares about delivering value for us customers.
- ordered wifi pcie card for $39.
Good value for the price if working from home.
Shipping
For a 44lb workstation, they got it here quite quick.
It also arrived two days before the original estimated deiivery date, so the seller didn't waste any time getting this order processed.
I called the vendor immediately and they guided me through the troubleshooting.
Seller was quick to send me a part that he forgot to send with the unit.
Packaging/appearance
Great shipping packaging, fully protected with form fitting foam.
It enveloped the four corners snuggly, providing about 2-3 inches of air-gap protection around the entire workstation.
If you are worried about packaging, my workstation came in a protective bubble wrap unlike any i'd seen before.
I had trouble getting it out of the box, such care was taken in packing it!
Competitiveness
Android emulator runs so much better on this computer compared to my old intel i7 with 16gb ram.
The xeon e5-2670's are a great deal at the moment after large tech companies unloaded tons of them onto the renewal market.
Comparable machines sell for thousands of dollars with just one or two generation newer processors.
Frankly, once you run a real workstation you’ll find it hard to go back to a consumer grade desktop.
