DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 128GB DDR4 H730P 2x 300GB SAS

Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages SAS and SATA drives.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and fast memory in a single rack unit. The dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports support demanding network throughput. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who require more than 24 DIMM slots, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight 2.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Storage Capacity

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays populated with two 300 GB 10K SAS drives. The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives can be added and which RAID levels are available. Expansion beyond eight drives requires a different chassis.
