2U Server with 24 Drive Bays
The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 32 available slots. The system targets organisations running databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics workloads that need dense compute and storage in a standard rack footprint.
Storage Controller and Drive Limits
The integrated PERC H755 controller manages up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA trays and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 8 GB of NV cache and a battery backup. The platform also accepts NVMe drives, though the supplied trays are for SAS and SATA devices. Builders who need more than 24 bays or who rely solely on NVMe without a compatible backplane should plan a different chassis.
Power, Networking and Remote Management
Dual 1400 W platinum hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter handles baseline connectivity, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise delivers out-of-band remote management for firmware updates and console access. The included ready rails and front bezel simplify rack mounting, but teams requiring 10 GbE or fibre-channel links will need additional adapters.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 24-bay 2.5" chassis or a different drive-count version?
The 24-bay 2.5" layout fills the 2U R750 with maximum hot-swap slots for SAS or SATA drives, so choose it when you need the highest drive density in a 2U form factor.
What does the 3.0 GHz base clock mean once the server is running real workloads?
Each Gold 5317 runs at 3.0 GHz base and can boost to 3.6 GHz; with two 12-core CPUs installed you get 24 total cores for databases, virtualization and compute-heavy tasks.
How does the PCIe Gen4 interface cap the PERC H755 and 5720 network card in practice?
The H755 RAID controller and Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card both connect via PCIe Gen4 lanes, so storage throughput and network I/O are limited by that generation's bandwidth ceiling.
