Enterprise Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 8 TB enterprise hard drives. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors provide 32 cores at 2.0 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory supports demanding virtualization and database tasks.

Workload Fit

This server suits teams needing high-capacity direct-attached storage with dual-processor compute in a compact rack footprint. The HBA355i controller presents drives without RAID abstraction, ideal for software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require hardware RAID acceleration or NVMe performance tiers should evaluate other configurations. Environments limited to 1U height or single-processor budgets will not accommodate this platform.

Storage Controller Decides

The PERC HBA355i is a pass-through host bus adapter that exposes twelve SATA drives directly to the operating system. It delivers SAS 12 Gb/s connectivity per port without on-board RAID processing. If your deployment needs hardware RAID levels, cache protection or mixed NVMe support, this controller will not meet those requirements. Confirm software stack compatibility with raw block devices before purchase.

Questions about this item

What PCIe generation does the HBA355i controller use and what throughput does that limit the twelve SATA drives to?

The PERC HBA355i is a PCIe host bus adapter that provides 12 Gb/s SAS pass-through for each of the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U server require?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and includes Ready Rails plus a front bezel for installation.

How are the Xeon Gold 6338 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two processors are already seated in the LGA 4189 sockets with 128 GB of registered ECC DDR4 populated across eight DIMM slots.
