Dell PowerEdge R640 8-Bay | Dual Xeon Gold 6230 | 40 Cores | 96GB RAM | SSD + 7.2TB SAS | PERC H740P

40 Cores. SSD + SAS Storage. All in Just 1U.

The Dell PowerEdge R640 delivers serious enterprise compute power in a compact 1U platform. Equipped with 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors, this configuration provides an impressive 40 CPU cores and 80 threads, backed by 96GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a versatile combination of SATA SSD and enterprise SAS storage.

With 2x 240GB SATA SSDs, 6x 1.2TB SAS drives, and a Dell PERC H740P RAID controller, this R640 is ready for virtualization, server consolidation, databases, business applications, private cloud infrastructure, and demanding enterprise workloads.

For environments where rack space matters, the R640 delivers an exceptional amount of compute capability from a single rack unit.

40 Cores / 80 Threads of Xeon Gold Performance

At the heart of this PowerEdge R640 are 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors, each providing 20 cores and 40 threads.

Together, they deliver 40 total CPU cores and 80 processing threads, giving this compact server the multi-core performance needed to handle multiple simultaneous workloads.

Whether you're deploying virtual machines, containers, business applications, development environments, or databases, the dual Gold 6230 configuration provides substantial compute resources without requiring a larger 2U server.

96GB of Enterprise ECC Memory

Virtualization requires more than CPU power, which is why this R640 comes equipped with 96GB of DDR4 ECC Registered Memory.

That provides a strong starting point for running multiple VMs and applications simultaneously while retaining the memory expandability of Dell's enterprise R640 platform.

For Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V environments, the combination of 40 CPU cores and 96GB RAM provides an excellent foundation for consolidating multiple workloads onto a single physical server.

SSD + SAS Storage

This R640 features a versatile mixed-drive configuration:

• 2x 240GB SATA SSDs — 480GB Raw SSD Storage
• 6x 1.2TB Enterprise SAS Drives — 7.2TB Raw SAS Storage
• 7.68TB Combined Raw Storage

The SSDs provide fast solid-state storage that can be used for supported operating system or application configurations, while the six SAS drives provide substantial enterprise storage for virtual machines, databases, applications, and business data.

Storage is managed by the powerful Dell PERC H740P RAID controller, providing advanced RAID functionality, onboard cache, and enterprise storage management.

Fully Populated 8-Bay Configuration

This R640 comes with all eight 2.5" SFF drive bays populated, giving you a complete SSD + SAS storage configuration right out of the box.

The combination of two SSDs and six SAS drives provides flexibility for separating operating system, application, and data workloads depending on your desired RAID configuration and deployment.

Built for Virtualization

The combination of 40 CPU cores, 80 threads, and 96GB RAM makes this R640 particularly attractive as a virtualization host.

Deploy Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, or Microsoft Hyper-V and consolidate multiple workloads onto a single enterprise platform.

Its compact 1U form factor also makes the R640 an excellent choice for virtualization clusters where maximizing compute density per rack unit is a priority.
