Our take on the Dell PowerEdge T640 8-Bay 3.5-configured

The PowerEdge T640 is Dell's dual-socket tower server, here built with two 20-core Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs and 32GB of DDR4. It holds eight 3.5-inch drives and ships with four 3TB SAS enterprise disks on a PERC H330 controller, plus redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC9 Express for remote management. Proxmox VE 8.3 comes preinstalled, so it arrives ready for virtualization work. Against 1U and 2U rack servers it trades density for quiet, roomy cooling and easy drive access, which suits small offices and labs more than a data center rack.

Questions and answers

Is the PowerEdge T640 good for virtualization?
Yes. With two 20-core Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs and 32GB of RAM it runs many VMs, and Proxmox VE 8.3 is already installed. Add RAM before scaling up, since 32GB is the tightest part of this build.
How many drives can it hold?
This configuration has eight 3.5-inch bays and includes four 3TB 7.2K SAS drives. The remaining bays are open for more 3.5-inch drives.
What RAID does the PERC H330 support?
The H330 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 in hardware. It has no battery-backed cache, so write performance is modest compared with Dell's H730 or H740 controllers.
How does it compare with a rack server like the R740?
The T640 uses the same generation of Xeon Scalable platform and drive options as the R740 but stands as a tower. It is quieter and easier to work on, while the R740 fits standard racks.
What is iDRAC9 Express?
It is Dell's embedded management controller for remote power control, console access and hardware monitoring. Express is the basic license tier, so advanced features need an upgrade.
What is in the box?
The server with two Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs, 32GB of DDR4, the PERC H330, four 3TB SAS drives, two 750W power supplies, embedded networking and Proxmox VE 8.3 installed. It carries a 180-day limited warranty.
