DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2× Xeon Gold 6330 2.0GHz 28‑core 128GB DDR4 12× 4TB SATA HBA355i 2× 1400W

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6330

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors running at 2.0GHz with 28 cores each. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 2933MHz registered ECC memory across eight DIMM slots. Redundant hot-swap 1400W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database servers or analytics platforms that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The HBA355i controller provides SAS12Gb/s pass-through connectivity without hardware RAID, so buyers who need integrated RAID levels should consider a PERC alternative. Workloads requiring GPU acceleration or NVMe-only storage tiers are not addressed by this build.

HBA355i Pass-Through Storage Controller

The Dell PERC HBA355i operates in pass-through mode only, presenting drives directly to the operating system without RAID abstraction. Twelve 3.5-inch 4TB 7.2K SATA enterprise drives connect through this adapter. If your deployment requires hardware RAID 5, 6 or 10 offloaded from the CPU, this controller will not meet that requirement.
