DELL PowerEdge R760 16-Bay 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6426Y 64GB DDR5 H965i

Dell PowerEdge R760 16-Bay 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 available slots and supports up to 8 TB total capacity. The PERC H965i controller provides RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 8 GB NV cache for SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Datacenter ensure redundant power and remote management.

Suited for virtualization, databases.

This configuration suits organisations deploying VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or Proxmox clusters that need dense 2.5-inch storage in a 2U form factor. The dual-socket design and DDR5 bandwidth also fit AI inference, HPC, and private cloud workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than 16 drive bays should consider alternative platforms. Workloads requiring 3.5-inch drives or single-socket economics are not addressed by this chassis.

Critical spec: sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays

The sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SAS, SATA, and NVMe media, letting you mix capacity and performance tiers behind the H965i controller. NVMe drives connect directly to the CPU via PCIe Gen5 for low-latency access. If your deployment requires 3.5-inch drives or fewer than sixteen bays, this chassis will not match the requirement.
