Dual-socket 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache provide the primary storage array.

Dense compute workloads

This configuration suits deployments that need high core density and fast local storage in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB for larger working sets. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, GPU compute capability, or memory capacity beyond 3 TB should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 2 GB cache. It manages the eight installed SAS drives and any additional SAS or SATA devices. If the application requires a different RAID feature set or non-RAID HBA mode, the controller choice determines compatibility.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all eight drive bays populated or do I need to buy additional 2.5" SAS drives?

Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives are already installed, filling every 2.5" bay; no extra drives are required unless you want more capacity.

Should I choose the 64 GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules up to the 3 TB maximum?

The system arrives with four 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs occupying four of 24 slots, leaving 20 slots free for future expansion.

What throughput can the PERC H730P controller deliver to the eight 10K SAS drives in a RAID 10 array?

The H730P 2 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and RAID 10, so the eight 300 GB 10K drives share that 12 Gb/s pipe with battery-backed write caching.
