DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 800GB SSD H730P

Dual-Socket 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages eight 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Compute-Dense Deployments

This configuration suits operators who need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single rack unit. The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of RAM for virtualisation or database tasks. Buyers who require more than two processors or more than 24 memory slots should consider a larger chassis. The 2.5-inch drive bays limit storage to SATA or SAS media.

24 DIMM Slots for 3 TB Maximum Memory

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 slots and a 3 TB ceiling, which is the decisive figure for memory-heavy applications. Populating all slots with higher-capacity modules reaches that limit. If the workload demands more memory channels or a higher per-socket capacity, this platform cannot deliver it.
