DELL PowerEdge R760 2U Rack Server 16x 2.5" 2x Xeon Gold 5415+ 2.9GHz 64GB DDR5

Dell PowerEdge R760 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server built for enterprise workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5415+ processors running at 2.9GHz with 4.1GHz turbo across eight cores each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR5-4800 ECC memory are installed across four modules. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays.

Storage Controller and Networking

The PERC H965i RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 8GB NV cache and NVMe capability. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 network card handles connectivity. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power. iDRAC9 Datacenter provides full remote management. This configuration suits virtualization, databases and software-defined storage. Buyers needing 10GbE or higher networking, GPU expansion, or more than two processors should consider other platforms.

Sixteen 2.5-Inch Drive Bays

The defining specification is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays paired with the H965i controller supporting NVMe. This density determines whether the server fits storage-heavy applications such as SDS or large database clusters. The 2U height limits total bay count compared to larger chassis. Memory scales to 8TB across thirty-two DDR5 slots for future growth.
