Overview
The PowerScale F710 is a 1U all-NVMe scale-out NAS node built on the PowerEdge R660 platform and running OneFS, configured here with ten 30.72TB QLC drives for maximum capacity per rack unit. Each unit is specified, racked, tested, and warranty-backed, sourced through Dell authorized channels for production AI and analytics environments.
Who This Solution Is For
Business Benefits
Linear scale-out growth
Add nodes from 3 to 252 to grow capacity and throughput together without re-architecting the namespace.
Maximum rack density
Ten 30.72TB QLC drives in 1U deliver petabyte-class capacity while conserving valuable data-center floor space.
GPU-ready throughput
All-NVMe media and 100GbE front-end keep multi-GPU training pipelines saturated and avoid I/O stalls.
Typical Business Use Cases
AI/ML training data lakes
High-throughput analytics
Unstructured data consolidation
Media rendering pipelines
Industry Applications
Technical Overview
Built on the PowerEdge R660 1U chassis with dual Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids processors, 512GB DDR5 ECC memory, and ten dual-ported NVMe SSDs running the OneFS distributed file system. The architecture scales linearly from 3 to 252 nodes within a single namespace, delivering up to 77PB of raw capacity per cluster.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many F710 nodes do I need to start a cluster?
OneFS requires a minimum of three F710 nodes to form a cluster, and you scale outward to 252 nodes as capacity and throughput demands grow.
Is the F710 a good fit for AI training workloads?
Yes, its all-NVMe media and 100GbE front-end provide the concurrent read throughput needed to keep GPU training clusters fed without I/O bottlenecks.
Why choose 30.72TB QLC drives over smaller TLC options?
The 30.72TB QLC drives maximize usable capacity per 1U node, ideal for read-heavy data lakes where density and floor-space efficiency outweigh peak write endurance.
