DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8-Core 256GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 packs two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 8-core processors and 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a single rack unit. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache support up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management for lights-out operation.

Suited for scale-out compute clusters

This configuration targets dense virtualization, hyper-converged infrastructure and database workloads that benefit from high core count and large memory capacity in minimal rack space. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis limits raw storage density, so buyers who need more internal drive bays should evaluate other platforms. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration also fall outside this 1U form factor.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the installed 600GB 10K SAS drives can be combined into larger logical volumes. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Compatibility with existing drive sets and required RAID policies should be verified before deployment.
