Purpose-built 1U rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H740P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T network adapter, all powered by redundant 750 W supplies and managed through iDRAC9 Enterprise. This configuration targets organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity in a single rack unit.
Suited for memory-intensive workloads.
This system suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and analytics platforms that benefit from 512 GB of DDR4 across two 12-core CPUs. The chassis provides only four 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA connectivity, so buyers who require more than four internal drives or who need GPU acceleration should consider alternative platforms.
Four 3.5-inch SATA bays define storage capacity
The single specification that determines fit is the four-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H740P controller. It limits internal storage to four hard drives or SSDs and does not support additional drive cages, making the bay count the decisive factor for deployment planning.

Questions about this item
Which configuration suits a storage-heavy workload — the 4 LFF bays or a smaller chassis?
The 4 LFF 3.5-inch bays in this R640 give you the maximum internal drive count for this 1U form factor, ideal when you need local capacity on SATA drives.
What does the 2.2 GHz clock on the dual Xeon Silver 4214 CPUs deliver in practice?
Two 12-core Xeon Silver 4214 processors at 2.2 GHz provide 24 cores total, suited for virtualisation, database and general compute workloads.
How does the PERC H740P controller affect drive performance?
The PERC H740P RAID controller manages the four SATA bays with hardware RAID and 8 GB cache, accelerating array rebuilds and read/write throughput.
