DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server Dual Xeon Gold 6130 2.10 GHz 512GB 15.36TB

Dense 1U Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for virtualisation, software-defined storage and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 512 GB of DDR4 memory and 15.36 TB of enterprise SATA SSD capacity. A PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB cache manages the eight drive bays. Redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management support continuous operation.

Suitable For And Not

This configuration suits organisations that need dense CPU cores and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for database, virtualisation or private cloud tasks. The quad-port 1 GbE controller fits standard LAN environments. Buyers who require higher network bandwidth, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SATA 6 Gb/s should evaluate alternative configurations because those interfaces are not present on this unit. The server arrives with drives and memory packaged separately for on-site installation.

Storage Interface Decides Fit

The eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with 1.92 TB enterprise SATA III SSDs delivering 15.36 TB of raw capacity through the PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller. This SATA-connected flash tier provides consistent read performance for mixed workloads but does not offer the latency or throughput of PCIe-attached flash. Confirm that your application stack is designed for SATA SSD media before committing to this platform.
