DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12x 3.5" 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 1TB DDR4 12x 8TB HBA355i 57412 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Enterprise 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rackmount server built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0GHz with 3.6GHz turbo across twelve cores each. The system includes 1TB of DDR4 2933MHz registered ECC memory across thirty-two DIMM slots. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with 8TB 7.2K SATA enterprise hard drives connected through a PERC HBA355i host bus adapter in pass-through mode.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Clusters

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised infrastructure, large databases or analytics platforms that benefit from high core counts and substantial memory capacity. The dual 1400W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration should note the HBA355i operates in pass-through mode only. Environments requiring 2.5-inch NVMe density or GPU-accelerated workloads will need a different chassis layout.

Pass-Through HBA355i Storage Controller

The installed PERC HBA355i controller presents drives directly to the operating system without RAID abstraction. This means ZFS, software RAID or distributed storage layers manage data protection instead of a hardware RAID card. If your deployment relies on a hardware RAID controller with battery-backed cache, this server will not meet that requirement without a controller swap.
