Dell PowerEdge R630 Refurbished like New Server

Overview :

Dell PowerEdge R630 and R640 servers, you might say these look alike, but that is about the only similarity. The 14th-generation Dell servers have definitely pushed the boundaries with what you can stick into a server. The R640 borrows the same 10x2.5” upfront drive selections as the R630, but adds 2 more in the rear of the chassis. That is 12x2.5” total without sacrificing any memory slots – a common technique to fit more into a server. The R640 also gives you a 4x3.5” configuration if you need larger drives. But, if you are using the larger form factor drives, I would generally recommend going up to one of the 2U servers where you double, triple, or even quadruple the number of drives you get. As far as NVMe capabilities go, the R640 now allows all 10 drives upfront to be NVMe whereas the R630 only allows 4 of them. Both allow for converting a normal 10-bay chassis into an NVMe version if you know the parts to add. For those running Hyper-V, you no longer have to use one or two of your drive bays for the OS. The R640 (and all 14th gen Dell servers) offer optional M.2 boot drives called BOSS (boot-optimized storage solution). Hyper-V did too many writes back to disk which made running them from SD cards impractical and not recommended. Beyond the drives themselves, the new H740P RAID card in the R740 gives some extra power with 8GB cache and support for PCI-Express 3.1.
