Dell PowerEdge M640 blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors at 1.90 GHz, 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS storage controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Compute density and storage fit

This blade suits workloads that need dual-processor performance in a shared chassis, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drive bays or who require a rack-mount form factor should look at other platforms.

Dual Xeon Bronze 3204 configuration

The server maxes out at two processors, both already installed, so no further CPU expansion is possible. Memory scales to 1 TB across the remaining DIMM slots. Storage is limited to two SAS drives on the integrated PERC H330 controller.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the dual 900 GB SAS drives or add more bays later?

The M640 blade accepts up to two 2.5-inch drives, so the installed pair already fills the chassis.

How does the 1.9 GHz Xeon Bronze 3204 perform in a live workload?

Each 3204 has six cores at 1.9 GHz with 8.25 MB cache; two sockets give twelve threads for multi-threaded tasks.

What does the PERC H330 SAS controller limit in practice?

The H330 manages the two 900 GB SAS drives and caps RAID to levels 0, 1, 5, 10 with no cache backup.
