Here the Dell PowerEdge R640 1U rack server comes with two Intel Xeon Gold 6252 processors (24 cores each, 2.10GHz base clock) alongside 256GB of DDR4. The drive complement is eight 2.4TB 10K SAS hard drives, 19.2TB before RAID, filling every bay of the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H740P hardware RAID (8GB cache), dual-port 10GbE RJ45 networking (Intel X550) and dual 750W power supplies. You also get an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
Roles that fit well include backup and replication targets, video and media archives, and file servers holding years of data. With eight drives, RAID 6 keeps six drives' worth of capacity and survives two simultaneous drive failures.
Against an all-flash R640 build, this configuration favours capacity over latency. It carries more memory than the lighter R640 builds, which matters most for virtual machines and caching.
Our Johannesburg team inspects and bench-tests the server and wipes any stored data before it is released as certified refurbished.

Frequently asked questions
How much raw storage does this PowerEdge R640 have?
- 8 × 2.4TB 10K SAS HDD, 19.2TB of raw capacity in total. Usable space depends on the RAID level you configure.
Is there room to add more drives?
- Every bay of the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis is populated in this configuration, so adding capacity means larger drives rather than more of them.
How many processor cores does it have?
- Two Intel Xeon Gold 6252 processors with 24 cores each at a 2.10GHz base clock: 48 physical cores in total, backed by 256GB of memory.
Does it include remote management?
- Yes. The configuration lists an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence, which provides out-of-band management (power control and hardware monitoring) independent of the operating system.
