DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 512GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 packs two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each into a single rack unit. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller managing two 400 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits memory-heavy scale-out workloads

This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-performance computing nodes that benefit from 32 total cores and half a terabyte of RAM in minimal rack space. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or additional PCIe expansion slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC capacity

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots is the decisive specification; it determines whether the server can hold the working set for dense virtualisation or in-memory databases without immediate upgrades.
