DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-Core 128GB DDR4 H730P 2x 400GB SSD

Dual-Socket 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense scale-out computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. A PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache manages the installed drives.

Fits dense virtualisation.

This server suits environments that need high compute density in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters or cloud workloads. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays, populated here with two 400 GB SATA SSDs. Buyers who require more than eight internal drive bays will need a different chassis. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration are not supported by this 1U form factor.

Eight 2.5-inch bays define storage capacity

The critical specification is the eight-bay 2.5-inch front chassis, which sets the maximum number of internal drives. The installed PERC H730P controller supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs are included, leaving six bays available for expansion. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.
