DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12x 3.5" 2x Xeon Gold 5317 64GB DDR4 HBA355i

Dell PowerEdge R750 2U 12-Bay Server

This 2U rack server integrates two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each with twelve cores running at 3.0 GHz and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. A PERC HBA355i controller provides SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through connectivity to twelve 3.5-inch drive trays. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Who Should Choose This System

Organisations running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or high-performance computing tasks gain from the dual-socket design and large memory ceiling of 2 TB. The twelve 3.5-inch bays suit capacity-focused storage layouts using SATA or SAS drives. The OCP 3.0 10 GbE SFP+ adapter fits existing high-speed network fabrics. Buyers needing NVMe-optimised front bays or GPU-accelerated AI inference should evaluate alternative configurations.

PERC HBA355i Pass-Through Controller

The installed PERC HBA355i operates strictly as a host bus adapter without RAID logic. It presents each attached SATA or SAS drive directly to the operating system for software-defined storage or ZFS deployments. Twelve 3.5-inch trays are populated and cabled for this controller. If hardware RAID levels are required, a compatible PERC RAID card must be sourced separately.
