DELL PowerEdge R750 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6330 2.0GHz 28C 64GB DDR4 12x 8TB SAS HBA355i 2x 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R750 2U server for enterprise

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built on the 15th Generation PowerEdge platform. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 3.1 GHz turbo, each providing 28 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Twelve 8 TB 7.2K SAS 12 Gb/s 3.5-inch drives are installed behind a PERC HBA355i host bus adapter that provides pass-through connectivity without RAID functionality.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters.

This configuration targets organisations that need dense CPU capacity and large SAS storage in a 2U form factor. The dual 28-core processors and 64 GB memory baseline support heavy virtualisation, database and analytics workloads. The HBA355i controller and twelve 3.5-inch drive bays favour capacity over all-flash speed. Buyers who require hardware RAID, NVMe acceleration, GPU acceleration or higher memory density from day one should evaluate other configurations.

PERC HBA355i pass-through controller decides

The installed Dell PERC HBA355i is a 12 Gb/s SAS PCIe host bus adapter that presents drives directly to the operating system without RAID abstraction. This means the twelve 8 TB SAS drives appear as individual block devices, so software-defined storage layers such as ZFS, Windows Storage Spaces or VMware vSAN must handle redundancy and performance tiering. If the deployment requires a hardware RAID controller with cache protection, this server will need a different PERC card.
