DELL PowerEdge R750 12x 3.5" 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 256GB DDR4 12x 8TB

PowerEdge R750 12-bay 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0GHz with 3.6GHz turbo and 12 cores each. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 2933MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. Twelve 3.5-inch 8TB 7.2K SATA drives provide raw capacity behind a PERC HBA355i pass-through controller. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, a Broadcom 57412 dual 10GbE SFP+ OCP card, rails and bezel complete the configuration.

Suited for dense cold storage.

This server suits buyers who need high-capacity 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U form factor with direct-attached SATA storage and dual 10GbE connectivity. The HBA355i operates in pass-through mode only, so environments that require hardware RAID levels or battery-backed write cache should look elsewhere. Workloads demanding NVMe performance or GPU acceleration will not be served by this specification.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis with HBA355i pass-through

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays paired with a PERC HBA355i controller that presents drives without RAID abstraction. This combination decides whether the platform fits a software-defined storage layer or a backup target that manages redundancy in software.
