Dell PowerEdge R640 10-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It operates as a new unit with dual processors installed in a high-density chassis designed for data centres and server rooms.

Suited for virtualization hosts needing dense

This configuration suits IT teams running multiple virtual machines or data-heavy applications that benefit from 512GB DDR4 RAM and twenty-four total cores. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated workloads or larger local storage capacity should evaluate alternative platforms.

10x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays

The front chassis provides ten 2.5-inch bays populated with 600GB SAS hard drives, delivering 6TB of raw 10K storage for operating systems, applications and backups. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB DDR4 across the two LGA3647 sockets.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 10-bay 2.5-inch version or a different bay count for this R640?

This unit ships with the 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated by ten 600 GB SAS drives, giving 6 TB of raw 10K storage in a single rack slot.

What does the 28-core total mean for my virtualization hosts?

Two Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs provide 24 physical cores at 2.60 GHz, so the hypervisor sees 28 logical threads for scheduling VMs and containers.

The SAS backplane is listed as 10K — what throughput ceiling does that impose?

Each 600 GB SAS drive runs at 10K RPM on the internal backplane, so sustained sequential throughput tops out around 350 MB/s per drive.
