DELL PowerEdge R750 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 128GB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H755

Dell PowerEdge R750 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 2.1 GHz 12-core processors and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 8 slots. Twenty-four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included.

Workload fit and limits

This server suits virtualisation clusters, database tiers and analytics platforms that need dense 2.5-inch SAS storage and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require NVMe all-flash arrays, GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies above 3.3 GHz should evaluate other platforms. The 32 DIMM slots allow future memory growth but the current 128 GB configuration may limit very large in-memory datasets.

Deciding specification

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H755 supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 8 GB of battery-backed NV cache. This determines the RAID levels available for the 24 SAS drive bays and the write-performance ceiling for transactional workloads.
