Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It ships new with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors, 128GB of DDR4 memory, an H730 storage controller and two 1TB SATA SSDs installed in the front bays. The platform supports up to two processors and a maximum memory capacity of 3TB.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This configuration suits organisations that need dense compute for virtual machines, database instances or backup targets in a standard rack environment. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and integrated H730 controller simplify array management for mixed read-write workloads. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration, additional drive bays beyond eight, or a tower form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.
Specification that decides fit
The server provides eight 2.5-inch expansion bays populated with two 1TB SATA SSDs and managed by the H730 controller. This bay count and drive interface determine how much internal storage can be added and what drive types are compatible. Confirm that the available bays and SATA interface meet your capacity and performance requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
What rack hardware do I need to mount the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis?
The server is a rackmount unit; you will need a standard rack enclosure and suitable rail kit or fixed shelf to secure the chassis.
Can the H730 controller manage my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives alongside the two installed 1 TB SSDs?
Yes, the H730 controller supports additional 2.5-inch SATA drives in the remaining six bays, allowing you to mix existing drives with the new SSDs.
How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6132 processors and 128 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Enter the BIOS or iDRAC interface on startup; both will show two Gold 6132 CPUs at 2.60 GHz and 128 GB DDR4 memory.
