The refurbished Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 10 Bay All Flash NVMe Solution Special is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for teams that need serious storage throughput in a tight footprint. Professionally rebuilt and fully tested, this machine is aimed squarely at environments where fast storage and dense compute share the same chassis — without burning half a rack to do it.
Under the hood, you're pairing two Intel Xeon Scalable processors (1st and 2nd Gen, up to 28 cores each) with up to 1.5TB of DDR4 Registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The storage layout is the story here: 2 dedicated SATA SSD bays up front, plus 8 u.2 NVMe PCIe bays — all 2.5" SFF. That's an all-flash front end with the bandwidth to back it up.
This is a workhorse platform that thrives in environments like:
- All-flash virtualization hosts — low-latency NVMe storage meets dual-socket compute, keeping VM density high and I/O wait low.
- Software-defined storage nodes — the R640's drive layout and dual-CPU headroom make it a natural fit for SDS clusters at any scale.
- Private cloud infrastructure — dense, efficient, and rack-friendly for teams building internal IaaS environments.
- High-performance databases — SQL, NoSQL, or in-memory workloads that need fast local storage and plenty of memory bandwidth.
- Analytics and data processing — Xeon Scalable cores plus NVMe throughput handles batch jobs and streaming pipelines without bottlenecking on storage.
- Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) — compute and storage in one chassis, one rack unit, one clean bill of materials.
Power is handled by a pair of redundant power supplies — choose from 2x 750W Platinum, 2x 750W Titanium, or 2x 1100W depending on your draw requirements. Remote management runs through iDRAC 9 (Express standard, Enterprise license available), so you have out-of-band access without needing eyes on the box. TPM 2.0 is available as an add-on for environments with hardware-level security requirements. A Dell PERC H330 12Gbps SAS/SATA RAID controller handles the SATA bays, and you've got a full menu of integrated NIC options from 1GbE to 25GbE.
A used Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 at this configuration level would cost significantly more coming off a new purchase order — this one ships as a professionally refurbished unit, fully tested, and configured to your exact specs before it leaves our facility. Enterprise-grade hardware at a fraction of what new pricing looks like. That's the whole idea.
At The Server Store, we don't just sell pre-owned Dell EMC PowerEdge R640 servers — we configure them, test them, and make sure you're getting exactly the system you need.
