DELL PowerEdge R760 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6416H 18C 2.2GHz 64GB DDR5 H965i 5720 iDRAC9 2x 1400W

Enterprise 2U Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6416H processors, each offering 18 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 4.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across four modules and includes the PERC H965i RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays and four drive trays, while dual 1400 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card and iDRAC9 Datacenter handle networking and remote management.

Suited for High-Density Compute

This configuration targets organizations running VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE clusters, as well as SQL databases, HPC workloads, and SDS platforms that benefit from dual-socket performance and DDR5 bandwidth. Buyers who need pre-installed drives, integrated 10 GbE networking, GPU acceleration, or a tower form factor should evaluate other platforms. The four included trays cover only a quarter of the available bays, so additional trays and drives must be sourced separately.

Sixteen Hot-Swap Bays with PERC H965i NVMe Support

The single specification that determines fit is the sixteen-bay 2.5-inch front layout paired with the PERC H965i controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and NVMe passthrough. This combination enables high-density SAS, SATA, and NVMe storage in a 2U footprint, making it the right part for teams that need maximum local drive count and hardware RAID flexibility within a standard rack depth.
