DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

Dense 1U Dual-Socket Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller complete the storage foundation.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap redundancy keep the platform running during continuous operation. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup maintains RAID performance across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes under heavy write workloads. Dual processors and 24 memory slots provide headroom for memory-intensive applications that run for extended periods.

300 GB 10K SAS Drive Limit

The eight installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives define the raw storage capacity and spindle speed available without adding drives. Buyers who need larger single volumes or solid-state latency must plan for drive replacement or expansion within the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis. The SAS interface and H730P controller determine which replacement drives are compatible.
