Dell PowerEdge R540 12-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for expanding business environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each offering 10 cores at 2.2GHz with a 3.0GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. Twelve 3.5-inch enterprise hard drives provide 4TB each at 7.2K RPM.

Ideal for virtualization and storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high internal capacity for databases, software-defined storage, or backup repositories. The 12-bay chassis and SAS/SATA controller support large drive counts. Buyers who require faster flash performance or PCIe-attached storage should evaluate other platforms. The integrated dual-port Gigabit adapter handles standard network traffic.

PERC H330 controller with twelve 4TB drives

The Dell PERC H330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages all twelve 3.5-inch 4TB 7.2K SATA drives in a single volume or multiple arrays. This hardware RAID engine delivers the storage throughput and redundancy options that define the usable capacity and resilience of the server. The 2.2GHz 10-core Xeon processors and 32GB DDR4 memory complement the storage subsystem for mixed read-write workloads.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R540 provide?

The chassis includes 12 bays, each populated with a 4TB 7.2K SATA 6Gb/s enterprise hard drive for immediate high-capacity storage.

What does the 2.2GHz Xeon Silver 4114 clock speed mean for actual workloads?

Two 10-core processors run at 2.2GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz turbo, delivering strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization and database tasks.

What storage interface does the PERC H330 controller use and what throughput does it cap at?

The H330 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so connected drives are limited to that 12Gb/s link speed in practice.
