Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots and eight 8 TB 7.2K SAS drives managed by a PERC H330 controller. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server fits organisations that need high-capacity SAS storage and dual-socket compute for virtualization, databases or file services in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than two processors, memory beyond 1 TB, or drive bays beyond the eight 3.5-inch slots should consider a different platform.

The specification that decides fit

The eight installed 8 TB 7.2K SAS drives deliver 64 TB of raw capacity behind the PERC H330 RAID controller, making total drive count and SAS interface the decisive factors for storage-heavy workloads.
