DELL PowerEdge R760 2U 16-Bay 2x Xeon Platinum 8468 48C 1TB DDR5 H965i 4x 960GB SSD 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Built for heavy compute

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8468 processors, each running at 2.1GHz with a 3.8GHz turbo and 48 cores. It ships with 1TB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 slots and a PERC H965i RAID controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Four 960GB SATA SSDs, a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card, iDRAC9 Datacenter management and dual 1400W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Ideal for virtualization and databases

This server suits teams consolidating VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox workloads, running SQL Server or other enterprise databases, or building private-cloud infrastructure that benefits from sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays and PCIe Gen5 expansion. Buyers who need higher-density GPU acceleration, 10GbE or faster networking, or single-thread performance above 3.8GHz should evaluate other platforms.

Storage-controller capability decides fit

The H965i controller provides 8GB of NV cache and native NVMe support alongside SAS and SATA, so the single specification that determines whether this is the right part is whether your storage plan requires hardware RAID across mixed drive types with that cache tier. If your workload relies on software RAID or external arrays instead, the controller feature set may be unnecessary.
