Dell PowerEdge R750 12x 3.5" 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 128GB DDR4 12x 8TB HDD H755 2x 1400W PSU

Configured Capacity

This Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server pre-configured with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, 128GB of DDR4 memory, a PERC H755 RAID controller and twelve 8TB SATA hard drives. It ships new with redundant 1400W power supplies, a quad-port 1GbE OCP card, iDRAC9 Enterprise and sliding rails. The system targets organisations that need a ready-to-deploy platform for storage-heavy workloads such as backup repositories, archival workloads or dense virtualisation hosts.

Fit and Alternatives

The twelve 3.5-inch bays filled with 7.2K SATA drives suit buyers who prioritise raw capacity and sequential throughput over low-latency IOPS. The single quad-port 1GbE adapter fits environments that have standardised on gigabit switching and do not require additional network bandwidth. Organisations needing all-flash performance, higher network speeds, GPU acceleration or a different drive count should evaluate other configurations.

Storage Interface

The PERC H755 controller connects the twelve 8TB drives through a SATA 6Gb/s interface and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 8GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery. This combination determines the achievable throughput, data protection options and rebuild behaviour for the installed drive set.
