DELL PowerEdge R760 2U 16-Bay 2x Xeon Gold 5415+ 2.9GHz 1TB DDR5 4x 1.92TB

Dell PowerEdge R760 2U 16-Bay Server

This Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5415+ processors running at 2.9GHz with 4.1GHz turbo across 16 total cores. It ships with 1TB of DDR5-4800 ECC registered memory in 32 slots and a PERC H965i RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Four 1.92TB SATA solid-state drives are installed in the 16-bay chassis.

Target workloads and limits

The system suits virtualization clusters, database servers, software-defined storage and AI inference workloads that need dense 2.5-inch drive capacity and dual-socket compute. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, NVMe-only storage pools or single-thread frequencies above 4.1GHz should evaluate other platforms. The chassis maxes at two processors and 8TB of memory.

Deciding specification

The PERC H965i controller with 8GB NV cache determines which drive types and RAID levels are hardware-accelerated; it supports SAS, SATA and NVMe across the 16 front bays. If your deployment requires a different RAID feature set or an OCP 3.0 network profile not covered by the Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE adapter, the controller and networking choice becomes the gating factor.
