# Dell PowerEdge R640 # R640 (1U) - Specs I purchased this server from PC Server & Parts via Ebay.com, a reputed and certified seller of refurbished enterprise gear and hardware. Dell PowerEdge servers are extremely configurable, which can make it difficult to select the "right" server to purchase. Some factors I considered when purchasing were: - Power Consumption - Processors - Noise level - RAM & Storage capacity - iDRAC license I was able to get lucky and find a server for a decent price point that comes with a 1 year warranty. The specs are as follows (yes, most would consider it overkill, but to me, the more the better...)
**Form Factor** | 1U |
**Processors** | 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6148 @ 2.40GHz |
**Cores** | 40 Cores (20 each) |
**Memory (RAM)** | DDR4 - 128 GB |
**Storage** | 8x 2.5 Drive Bay Capacity (I currently have 4x 1TB SATA SSDs) |
**Power Supply** | Redundant PSU (2 PSUs - 750W) |
**RAID Controller** | Dell H730P |
**Network Interface** | Intel I350 - 4x 1GbE RJ45 ports |
**iDRAC** | Enterprise License |
