This Dell PowerEdge R840 is a 2U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 5218 chips (2.30GHz, 16 cores each) and 128GB of DDR4 memory. Storage comes as two 960GB SATA SSDs, 1.92TB raw; six bays of the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis are still free.
Around that sit a PERC H740P RAID controller with 8GB of cache, quad-port 10GbE RJ45 networking (Intel X550-T4) and dual 1600W power supplies. The configuration also lists iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and rack rails.
Flash throughout means quick random reads and writes, which is what SQL servers, VDI hosts and busy application servers lean on. Two identical drives make a straightforward RAID 1 mirror for resilience.
Where hard-disk builds of the R840 favour capacity, this one favours responsiveness with flash storage. Memory is kept modest in this R840 build, which suits compute and storage roles more than large virtual-machine estates.
Our Johannesburg team inspects and bench-tests the server and wipes any stored data before it is released as certified refurbished.
