DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8C 64GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

SKU CH-JZ2N-VP64N

Dual-Socket 1U Density

The PowerEdge R640 packs two Xeon Gold 6134 processors into a single rack unit, delivering sixteen cores at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It targets organisations that need high compute density without expanding their rack footprint.

12 Gb/s SAS Throughput

The PERC H730P controller links eight 600 GB 10 K drives at 12 Gb/s SAS, while the X520/I350 daughter card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports. Network and storage bandwidth share the same PCIe lanes, so sustained 10 Gb line rate on all ports simultaneously may require workload tuning.

64 GB Baseline, 3 TB Ceiling

Four 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz modules fill four of twenty-four slots, leaving twenty slots open for expansion up to 3 TB of registered ECC memory. The eight drive bays are fully populated, so additional local storage needs external arrays or a chassis change.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8-bay 2.5" chassis or a larger bay count?

The unit is an 8-bay 2.5" 1U server; it holds eight drives and no larger bay-count option is offered for this configuration.

What does the 3.2 GHz Xeon Gold 6134 speed deliver in this server?

Two 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.2 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo, providing 16 cores total for compute-intensive workloads.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit in practice?

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller connects the eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s, capping each drive link at that rate.
