DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4108 1.80 GHz 16-core 64 GB DDR4 2× 1.92 TB SATA SSD H740P

1U rack server for virtualization workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 occupies a single rack unit and ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.80 GHz, totalling 16 cores. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 memory support multiple virtual machines and data-intensive business applications. It is aimed at organisations deploying file storage, databases, backups or application hosting in a dense rack environment. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two sockets cannot use this platform.

Dual CPU and H740P RAID in a 10-bay 2.5" chassis

Two processors are installed in LGA 3647 sockets, reaching the system maximum of two. The 10-bay 2.5-inch drive cage holds the included pair of 1.92 TB SATA SSDs and leaves room for additional drives. A Dell Perc H740P RAID controller manages the array, simplifying setup and ongoing storage management. Builders who require 3.5-inch drive bays or a different RAID controller must look elsewhere.

Steady multi-threaded throughput for sustained

The 16 combined cores deliver consistent performance for long-running virtualization, database and backup tasks rather than short burst workloads. DDR4 memory bandwidth and the H740P controller help maintain I/O stability during extended operations. The 1U form factor concentrates heat, so adequate rack airflow is essential for continuous operation. Environments needing single-thread speed or specialised accelerator cards are not a fit.
