Here the Dell PowerEdge R940 3U rack server comes with four 18-core Intel Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs at 3.10GHz alongside 256GB of DDR4 memory. It carries eight 1.92TB SAS SSDs for 15.36TB of raw capacity, filling every bay of the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis. The operating system gets its own home on a BOSS card carrying two 240GB M.2 SATA SSDs.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H740P hardware RAID (8GB cache), 2 × 10GbE SFP+ networking (Intel X520) and dual 2000W power supplies. Also included: an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
This is the kind of build that suits database servers and virtualisation hosts where storage latency, not capacity, sets the pace. RAID 10 across the eight drives would keep four drives' worth of space while mirroring every write.
Compared with a hard-disk build of the same R940, this all-flash configuration trades raw capacity for much lower storage latency. That is twice the memory of a lighter R940 build, which matters most for virtual machines and caching.
Certified refurbished condition: the server is inspected, bench-tested and data-wiped in Johannesburg.

Frequently asked questions
How much raw storage does this PowerEdge R940 have?
- 8 × 1.92TB SAS SSD, 15.36TB 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?
- Four Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors with 18 cores each at a 3.10GHz base clock: 72 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.
