DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H755 2x 1400W

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 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache manages twenty-four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives in the 24-bay 2.5 inch chassis. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, a dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP card, rails and bezel complete the configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server suits organisations running virtualised databases, analytics or high-performance computing that need dense 2.5 inch SAS storage and dual-processor throughput. The 24 drive bays and H755 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Buyers who need 3.5 inch drive bays, NVMe-only storage or a single-processor configuration should look at other platforms.

The spec that decides fit

The critical specification is the twenty-four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives paired with the H755 controller, which determines whether the raw capacity and RAID flexibility match the workload. If the application requires a different drive count, interface or form factor, this chassis will not meet the requirement.
