Dual-socket 1U platform for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies, quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Suited for virtualization clusters

This configuration fits organisations that need high core density and fast SATA flash in a single rack unit, such as virtualization hosts, database nodes or scale-out storage tiers. The twelve-core CPUs and large memory capacity support heavy multi-threaded applications, while the eight-drive bay layout and hardware RAID provide local redundancy. Buyers who require more than twenty-four memory slots, additional drive bays or a different storage interface should evaluate larger chassis options.

Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs on a hardware RAID controller

The installed storage consists of eight Dell Enterprise 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch drives behind a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This combination determines usable capacity, IOPS and data protection for the workload. Verify that SATA SSD performance and the RAID feature set match the application requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

What drives, memory and accessories ship with the R640, and what must I source separately?

The unit includes two Xeon Gold 5118 processors, eight 16 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, eight 800 GB 2.5" SATA SSDs, the PERC H730P 2 GB controller, a quad-port X520/I350 network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750 W platinum PSUs, bezel and rails. Additional DDR4 modules or drives are optional.

Should I choose the 128 GB configuration or plan for the 3 TB maximum?

The server arrives with 128 GB across eight slots, leaving sixteen slots free. If your workload fits in 128 GB, no upgrade is needed; for larger datasets you can add DDR4 RDIMMs up to the 3 TB limit.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock mean for real-world throughput on the Xeon Gold 5118?

Each of the twenty-four cores runs at 2.3 GHz base and can reach 3.2 GHz turbo, delivering strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization, databases and scale-out workloads in a 1U form factor.
