Dell PowerEdge R760 specifications
The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rackmount server that supports two fourth-generation Intel Xeon processors and up to 24 NVMe drives, including bases that support the new EDSFF E3.S SSDs. By the way, SSD E3.S is the only form factor of drives with Gen5 that is supported on this base, U.2 compartments are only Gen4. Support for new drives makes disk subsystem configuration even more important when configuring PowerEdge for specific use cases.
- this is, in fact, a 2U version of the Dell PowerEdge R660 1U server we have already reviewed. Both servers support two fourth-generation Intel Xeon "Sapphire Rapids" processors with a maximum configuration of up to 56 cores/128 threads per CPU and up to 8 TB of RAM in 32 DIMM slots. These servers are designed for mixed workloads, databases and VDI.
When it comes to storage, twice the height makes the R760 roomier than the R660; it supports the following configurations (with the possibility of installing up to 24 NVMe drives):
- 12 x 3.5-in
- 8 x 2.5-in
- 16 x 2.5-in
- 24 x 2.5-in
- 2 x 2.5-inch or 4 x 2.5-inch (rear)
I should note that the R760 can be configured with direct storage access, as in this review model, or with the new Dell PERC 12 RAID card that supports NVMe HWRAID (up to 16 HWRAID + 8 NVMe direct connections). As mentioned earlier, there are many decisions to be made regarding the disk subsystem when configuring Dell's new PowerEdge core servers.
The R760 also supports more PCIe slots than the PowerEdge R660: four Gen5 and eight Gen4 versus the R660's two Gen5 and three Gen4. The R760 supports dual GPUs (up to 350 watts); The R660 is limited to two single cards up to 75 watts.
