DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon 5118 128GB 12x 8TB H730P
2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 128GB DDR4 ECC memory, PERC H730P RAID controller, and twelve 8TB 7.2K SATA drives for high-capacity storage workloads
- Dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz base
- 128 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory supports virtualization workloads
- PERC H730P controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with battery backup
- Twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives provide high-capacity storage
- Dual 750 W platinum power supplies with iDRAC9 Express remote management
Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualization workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rack server combines two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo and 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory. This configuration targets growing businesses that need reliable compute density for virtualization, database management and software-defined storage. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management support continuous operation.
Twelve 3.5-inch bays capped at 7.2 K SATA throughput
The chassis holds twelve 8 TB enterprise hard drives spinning at 7.2 K RPM behind a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported along with pass-through mode. The 6 Gb/s SATA interface limits sequential throughput regardless of drive count, so workloads demanding sustained high bandwidth should evaluate this constraint.
Replaces smaller 2U or tower servers when capacity
The jump is worth it when internal storage must scale past eight drives without external enclosures. Buyers who need faster drive interfaces, solid-state media or more than two processor sockets will find the platform does not meet those requirements.

Questions sur cet article
Should I pick the 128 GB DDR4-2400 configuration or add more memory later?
The system ships with 128 GB across eight 16 GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered modules, leaving empty slots for future expansion if your workloads grow.
What does the 2.3 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo on the Xeon 5118 mean for real workloads?
Each of the two 12-core Xeon 5118 processors runs at 2.3 GHz base and can boost to 3.2 GHz, giving 24 total cores that scale frequency up when thermal headroom allows.
How does the H730P controller and 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit drive performance?
The PERC H730P with 2 GB cache connects at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA, so the twelve 7.2K SATA drives are capped by the controller's 12 Gb/s link and RAID overhead.
