The Dell PowerEdge R760 is a 2U rack server that supports dual 4th-generation Intel Xeon processors and up to 24 NVMe drives, including enclosures that support the new EDSFF E3.S SSDs. Incidentally, the E3.S SSD is the only Gen5 drive form factor supported on this enclosure; U.2 bays are Gen4 only. Support for the new drives makes configuring the drive subsystem even more important when customizing the PowerEdge for specific use cases.
Dell PowerEdge R760 Specifications
The PowerEdge R760 is essentially a 2U version of the 1U PowerEdge R660 we reviewed earlier . Both servers support two 4th-generation Intel Xeon "Sapphire Rapids" processors with a maximum configuration of wordpress web design agency 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, the R760's double-height design gives it more storage than the R660, supporting the following configurations (with up to 24 NVMe drives):
The 1U R660 server supports a maximum of 10 x 2.5" drives, plus 2 x 2.5" drives in the rear. We've taken a close look at the E3.S backplane in the R660. E3.S drives will soon be available in the PowerEdge R760.
Note that the R760 can be configured with direct access storage, as in this review model, or with Dell's new PERC 12 RAID card, which supports NVMe HWRAID (up to 16 HWRAID + 8 direct NVMe connections). As noted earlier, there are a lot of disk decisions to make when configuring Dell's new mainstream PowerEdge 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-GPU cards at up to 75 watts.
Dell doesn't offer exact equivalents to the R760 and R660 on AMD EPYC processors; the closest servers are the 2U PowerEdge R7625 and 1U PowerEdge R6625.
