Dell PowerEdge R640 10SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server with ten 2.5-inch drive bays. It operates with two Intel Xeon Gold 6248R processors, each running at 3GHz with 24 cores. The system includes 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise license.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration fits workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a dense 1U form factor. The dual 24-core CPUs and 1TB RAM support heavy virtualisation or in-memory databases. Buyers who need internal storage pre-installed or GPU acceleration for compute tasks should evaluate other platforms.

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis provides ten SFF bays connected to the PERC H740P controller for SATA drives. No drives are installed, so storage capacity and redundancy depend entirely on the drives selected. Maximum system memory reaches 7.68TB when all DIMM slots are populated with compatible DDR4 modules.

Questions about this item

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

The R640 10SFF chassis supports up to 10 drives in 2.5-inch bays; choose it when you need maximum drive density in a 1U rack space.

What does the 3 GHz clock on the dual Xeon Gold 6248R CPUs deliver in actual workloads?

Each 6248R has 24 cores at 3 GHz with 35.75 MB cache, giving strong multi-thread throughput for virtualization and database tasks.

How does the PERC H740P controller limit the SATA drives I can install?

The H740P manages RAID across the 10 SATA bays and caps array performance to the SATA interface speed of the installed drives.
