I recently bought my first server, just about the cheapest Dell had available (still €2000). I was completely undewhelmed by the specs, it even has spinning rust. The upgrade costs to SSD's were like 250 per disk. So reading these specs, how much does such a server cost? Or do you put the disks in yourself? Can you negotiate a 50% discount? So many questions I have as a newbie in the entireprise server world.

No one buys dell servers at list price.

Where possible I go third party on disks and ram.

If you are an enterprise (or just big enough) the prices on Dell’s site are meaningless, they are just conversation starters if that.

From old knowledge, you’re out by about 2 orders of magnitude.
