DELL PowerEdge R640 10B 2x Xeon Gold 6148 2.40GHz 256GB DDR4 H730P

Dual Xeon Gold 6148 40-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors provide 40 cores running at 2.40GHz for multi-threaded performance. 256GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-intensive services. The chassis offers ten 2.5-inch drive bays for flexible storage configuration.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The integrated H730P storage controller manages I/O across the ten drive bays to maintain consistent throughput during extended virtualization or database tasks. Dual-socket architecture distributes threads across both CPUs to avoid single-socket bottlenecks under continuous demand. DDR4 memory capacity of 256GB reduces swap activity when many services run simultaneously. Integrated graphics offload basic display output without consuming a PCIe slot.

Maximum Memory Capacity 3TB

The platform supports up to 3TB of DDR4 when fully populated, defining the ceiling for memory-heavy workloads. Buyers who need more than 3TB of RAM must choose a different server architecture. The ten 2.5-inch bays limit internal drive count compared to larger chassis options. No operating system is included, so licensing and installation are separate tasks.
