DELL PowerEdge R760 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6426Y 1TB DDR5 H965i 16 Bay 2.5

Dell PowerEdge R760 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6426Y processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.5 GHz with a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 1 TB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory across 32 slots. Redundant hot-swap 1400 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Datacenter management are standard.

Suits virtualisation, databases and AI inference

This configuration suits organisations running VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE clusters, plus SQL databases and machine-learning inference. The front PERC H965i controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with NVMe acceleration. Buyers needing GPU-accelerated training or more than 16 front drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

16-bay 2.5-inch front storage chassis

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays fed by the H965i RAID controller. This bay count and form factor set the storage density ceiling for the rack unit. Expansion beyond 16 front devices requires a different chassis or external enclosure.
