DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12 Bay 3.5" 2x Xeon Gold 6338 32 Core 1TB DDR4 12x 8TB HBA355i

Purpose-built server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rackmount server system equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors running at 2.0 GHz with 32 cores each, 1 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, and twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a PERC HBA355i host bus adapter. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts, database clusters, or analytics workloads that demand high core counts and large local storage capacity in a standard 2U form factor. Buyers who require hardware RAID acceleration, NVMe flash tiers, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate different chassis or controller options.

Decisive specification

The PERC HBA355i operates strictly as a SAS 12 Gb/s pass-through HBA without RAID functionality, meaning all drive redundancy or performance striping must be handled by the operating system or software layer. This single detail determines whether the storage topology matches your operational requirements.
