DELL PowerEdge R750 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4314 2.4GHz 16-core 128GB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H755

PowerEdge R750 dual Xeon Silver 4314

The Dell PowerEdge R750 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight DIMMs. The system targets enterprise workloads such as virtualization, databases and analytics that demand high core counts and reliable memory integrity. Redundant 1400 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation in dense data-centre racks.

Sustained load with 24 SAS drives and H755 RAID

Under sustained load the 24 enterprise 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives feed the PERC H755 controller, which provides 8 GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, allowing administrators to balance capacity, redundancy and throughput for long-running database or virtualization jobs. Quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 networking and PCIe Gen4 lanes keep data moving between storage, compute and external fabric without bottlenecking during extended peak periods.

Upgrades from older 2U platforms lacking Gen4

This server replaces earlier 2U systems that are limited to PCIe Gen3, slower DDR4 speeds or basic remote management. The jump is worth it when workloads need the combined uplift of 32 DDR4 slots, 24 hot-swap bays, hardware RAID with NV cache and iDRAC 9 Enterprise for automated firmware orchestration. Buyers who require NVMe-only storage densities or single-socket economics should evaluate alternative configurations.
