DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Gold 6150 2.7GHz 18C 32GB DDR4 2x 1.92TB SSD H330 57810S-K iDRAC9 Ent

Dense compute blade for scale-out clusters

The PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing workloads. It fits into PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis, letting administrators add nodes without extra rack space. Two Xeon Gold 6150 processors supply 36 cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for heavy multi-threaded tasks. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or local high-capacity HDD storage should look elsewhere.

Blade form factor limits local expansion

Only two 2.5-inch drive bays are available, so internal capacity tops out at the installed 1.92 TB SSDs. The PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 across SATA and SAS media, but cannot present more than two physical disks. Memory scales to 1.5 TB across 16 DDR4 slots, yet the blade ships with just 32 GB. Network I/O relies on the 10 Gb dual-port 57810S-K daughter card; no additional PCIe slots exist for extra NICs or accelerators.

Dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs define throughput

The pair of 18-core processors delivers 36 threads at 2.7 GHz base clock, setting the ceiling for concurrent VMs, containers or HPC jobs. With 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz ECC fitted, memory bandwidth matches the CPU capability for balanced performance. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band management for remote deployment and monitoring. No operating system is included, so the buyer must supply licences and images.
