DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16C 128GB DDR4 12x 3.5" HBA355i 2x 1400W

Dual Xeon Silver 4314 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. This configuration targets virtualization, database, and analytics tasks that benefit from 32 total cores and redundant power.

PCIe Gen4 and SAS 12 Gb/s Limits

The server uses PCIe Gen4 lanes for internal expansion, doubling bandwidth over the prior generation for faster data movement between CPUs, the HBA355i controller, and the dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network card. The PERC HBA355i operates as a SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through HBA without RAID functions, so storage redundancy must be handled in software or by an added RAID controller. Twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS drives; NVMe support requires a different backplane not included here.

128 GB Baseline with 2 TB Ceiling

The installed 128 GB baseline suits moderate consolidation, but the platform supports up to 2 TB across 32 DDR4 slots for memory-heavy databases or dense VM hosts. Twelve 3.5-inch bays provide high raw capacity with large-capacity HDDs, yet the HBA355i pass-through design means no hardware RAID acceleration for parity rebuilds. Buyers who need hardware RAID, more than twelve drive bays, or 2.5-inch NVMe density should evaluate other configurations.
