Purpose-Built 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server designed for dense scale-out data centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory are installed across four modules. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache.

Fit and Limits

This configuration suits organisations that need high core density and fast SAS storage in a single rack unit. The 1U form factor limits internal drive bays to eight 2.5-inch slots and leaves no room for additional PCIe cards. Buyers who require more internal storage capacity or extra expansion cards should evaluate larger chassis options. The installed 64 GB memory uses only four of twenty-four slots, so capacity can grow significantly within the same system.

Deciding Specification

The PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported. It manages SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s and enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. If your deployment depends on a different controller feature set or drive protocol, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all eight drive bays populated or do I need to add drives?

Eight 600 GB SAS hard drives are already installed, filling every 2.5 inch bay.

Should I choose the 64 GB configuration or plan for the 3 TB maximum?

The system arrives with 64 GB across four slots, leaving twenty free slots for future expansion up to 3 TB.

What throughput can the H730P controller deliver to the installed 600 GB 10K SAS drives?

The PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity, matching the drive interface for full 10K RPM performance.
