Dell PowerEdge R750 2U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. A PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache and battery backs 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, databases, or analytics that need dual-socket compute and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis targets capacity-oriented storage with SATA hard drives. Buyers who need NVMe performance, 2.5-inch drive density, or a smaller 1U footprint should consider other configurations.
Storage controller and drive interface
The PERC H755 controller manages the 12 installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Its 8 GB non-volatile cache with battery backup protects write data during power loss. The backplane uses SATA 6 Gb/s connectivity for the 3.5-inch bays; SAS and NVMe drives are not supported on this specific configuration.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the PERC H755 controller is managing the twelve 4 TB SATA drives correctly after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface, navigate to Storage, and verify the H755 shows all twelve drives in the desired RAID level with no degraded or failed status.
Which items ship with the server and which must be sourced separately?
The box includes the 2U chassis, two Xeon Gold 5317 processors, sixteen 32 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, H755 RAID card with 8 GB cache, twelve 3.5" 4 TB SATA HDDs, dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP card, iDRAC9 Enterprise licence, two 1400 W platinum PSUs, ready rails and front bezel.
Should I choose the 512 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 2 TB maximum?
The system arrives with 512 GB (16 × 32 GB) DDR4‑2933 installed; the platform supports up to 2 TB across 32 slots, so add matching RDIMMs later if workloads demand more capacity.
