DELL PowerEdge R750 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16C 256GB DDR4 24x 960GB SSD H755 2x 1400W

Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each running at 2.40 GHz with 16 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 8 modules and a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB NV cache. Twenty-four 960 GB SATA SSDs provide high-density storage in a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits virtualization and database clusters.

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, databases or analytics workloads that benefit from 32 cores and large local flash capacity. The 10 GbE SFP+ OCP card supports fast east-west traffic. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere, as no GPU is installed and the 2U form factor limits full-length card space. Workloads requiring NVMe latency will not be satisfied by the all-SATA drive set.

Deciding spec: 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA chassis

The 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA chassis is the single specification that determines fit. It fixes the maximum drive count at 24 and the interface at 6 Gb/s SATA, so capacity and throughput are bound by those limits. Confirm the rack provides 2U height and that the workload accepts SATA SSD performance before purchasing.
