DELL PowerEdge R750 2U 12x 3.5" 2x Silver 4314 16C 2.4GHz 256GB DDR4 12x 4TB H755

Enterprise 2U rack server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.4GHz with a 3.4GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays come populated with 4TB 7.2K SATA enterprise hard drives.

Sustained compute and storage throughput

Dual 1400W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy for continuous operation under load. The PERC H755 RAID controller with 8GB NV cache and battery backup maintains write performance and data integrity during extended write-heavy tasks. The Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 adapter delivers consistent network throughput for virtualisation traffic. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and management without impacting host resources.

PCIe Gen4 bandwidth and 3.5-inch SATA drive

PCIe Gen4 doubles I/O bandwidth for the H755 controller and OCP 3.0 card, supporting high-throughput storage and networking. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis limits drive selection to SATA and SAS form factors; 2.5-inch NVMe configurations require a different chassis. Maximum memory capacity reaches 2TB across 32 DDR4 DIMM slots, but only 256GB is installed. Buyers needing all-flash NVMe arrays or higher single-thread clock speeds should evaluate alternative platforms.
