DELL PowerEdge R750 12 Bay 3.5" 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4316 2.3GHz 20 Core 1TB DDR4 12x 4TB HDD

Dell PowerEdge R750 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors, each offering 20 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.4 GHz turbo. It ships with 1 TB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 32 DIMM slots and twelve 3.5-inch 4 TB SATA hard drives managed by a PERC HBA355i host bus adapter. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card complete the configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations running memory-intensive virtualisation, database, or analytics workloads that benefit from 40 total cores and a terabyte of ECC memory. The twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis provides high-capacity local storage on SATA media. Buyers who need NVMe performance, GPU acceleration, or a smaller 1U form factor should consider other platforms.

HBA355i pass-through storage controller

The installed Dell PERC HBA355i operates in SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through mode without RAID functionality. This means the twelve 4 TB drives appear as individual JBOD devices to the operating system, so any redundancy or striping must be handled in software. Verify that your deployment can manage data protection at the OS or application layer before committing to this configuration.
