Built for virtualization and data workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 rackmount server pairs two Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.00 GHz with 256 GB of DDR4 memory. This combination targets businesses running file storage, databases, virtualization and application hosting. It ships without an operating system.

H730P controller and ten drive bays simplify storage

The integrated H730P storage controller manages the ten 2.5-inch bays, eight of which are NVMe capable. Ten new 1 TB SATA SSDs are installed, providing capacity for operating systems, applications, virtual machines and backups. The controller streamlines array configuration and daily management.

36 total cores set the compute ceiling

With 24 cores per processor and both sockets populated, the system delivers 36 cores in total. This core count determines how many concurrent virtual machines or heavy threads the server can sustain. Buyers needing more simultaneous threads must choose a platform that supports additional processors or higher core counts.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance will the ten 2.5-inch bays need over time?

The ten 2.5-inch bays hold 1 TB SATA SSDs; plan to replace any drive that fails or reaches its write endurance limit.

Which limit appears first when all 36 cores run sustained workloads?

The two Xeon Gold 6154 processors reach their 3.00 GHz thermal ceiling before memory or storage bandwidth saturates.

How much heat and fan noise should I expect from the 60 kg chassis running 24/7?

Dual 3.00 GHz CPUs and ten SSDs push the cooling system hard, so expect continuous high-speed fan noise and significant heat exhaust.
