1U rack server for virtualization

This Dell PowerEdge R640 fits a single rack unit and ships with two Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.20 GHz. Sixteen total cores and 128 GB of DDR4 memory give it the throughput for virtualization, databases and application hosting. Six 1.2 TB SAS drives and an H740P controller provide the storage foundation for business workloads.

Suited for dense compute clusters.

The 1U chassis and dual-socket design suit data centres that need high core counts in minimal space. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, larger drive bays or more than two processors should look at a different platform. The installed H740P RAID controller manages the SAS array without extra hardware.

Six 1.2 TB SAS drives on H740P RAID

Storage capacity is fixed at six 1.2 TB SAS hard drives connected to the Dell PERC H740P controller. This combination decides whether the server meets your capacity and redundancy requirements. No additional drive bays or controller options are described in the specifications.

Questions about this item

How many drive bays does the 10-bay chassis provide for the 1.2 TB SAS drives?

The 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis holds six 1.2 TB SAS drives, leaving four bays free for future expansion.

What does the 3.20 GHz Xeon Gold 6134 speed deliver for virtualization workloads?

Two 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.20 GHz give 16 total cores to run multiple virtual machines and database instances concurrently.

Which SAS standard does the H740P controller use and what throughput does it cap at?

The H740P RAID controller connects the 1.2 TB drives over 12 Gb/s SAS, limiting each drive to that interface maximum.
