DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12×3.5" 2×Xeon Gold 5317 1TB DDR4 12×8TB H755

Dell PowerEdge R750 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, 1 TB of DDR4 memory and twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 8 TB SATA drives. The platform includes a PERC H755 RAID controller, quad-port 1 GbE networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1400 W power supplies. Ready rails and a front bezel are included.

Suited for virtualization

This configuration suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch storage and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require NVMe performance, GPU acceleration or a smaller 1U chassis should look at alternative platforms. The twelve-bay layout favours capacity over raw IOPS, so all-flash arrays are not the primary target. Workloads needing more than two processors are beyond this model.

12 × 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with PERC H755

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by the PERC H755 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the deployment needs that exact bay count and RAID flexibility, this server matches; otherwise a different chassis or controller is required.
