DELL PowerEdge R750 2U Rack Server 12x 3.5" 2x Xeon Gold 6330 2.0GHz 28-Core 1TB DDR4 12x 8TB HBA355i 2x 1400W

Dual-socket Xeon rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 28 cores. It ships with 1 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 32 DIMM slots and a PERC HBA355i host bus adapter for direct drive access. This configuration targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, large databases or analytics workloads that demand high core counts and memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Redundant 1400 W power supplies

Dual hot-swap 1400 W platinum-rated power supplies provide full redundancy for continuous operation under heavy load. Twelve 3.5-inch 8 TB enterprise SATA drives spinning at 7.2 K RPM populate every front bay, so airflow is tuned for sustained sequential throughput rather than burst performance. The Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 adapter handles east-west traffic without saturating the PCIe Gen4 lanes shared with the HBA355i controller.

HBA355i pass-through only

The PERC HBA355i operates strictly in pass-through mode and presents no hardware RAID layer, so any redundancy or tiering must be handled by the operating system or a software-defined storage stack. Buyers who need a hardware RAID controller with cache protection should look elsewhere. The 2 TB maximum memory ceiling also means workloads that scale beyond 1 TB per node will require additional servers rather than a simple DIMM upgrade.
