DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4316 2.3 GHz 20-core 512 GB DDR4 12× 8 TB HDD HBA355i

Dual Xeon Silver 4316 20-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 20 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. The system targets organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity for virtualization, databases, or analytics workloads.

Sustained load behaviour with 12× 8 TB drives

Twelve 3.5-inch enterprise SATA hard drives spin at 7.2K rpm and connect through the PERC HBA355i host bus adapter in pass-through mode, providing 12 Gb/s SAS bandwidth per drive without hardware RAID overhead. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap design keep the platform running during extended, multi-threaded jobs such as large-scale data ingestion or batch processing.

Build quality and daily connectivity

The chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for straightforward rack mounting and physical security. A Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network card handles high-throughput east-west traffic, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives administrators full remote console, power control, and firmware update capabilities without needing physical access to the server.
