Storage
The PowerEdge R640 provides scalable storage that allows you to adapt to your workload and operational requirements. With
comprehensive storage options, the PowerEdge R640 oers various internal and external storage controllers, drive types, and dierent

The new PERC Controller oerings is a heavy leverage of previous generation PERC family. The Value Performance level controllers,
carried-over from previous generation to PowerEdge R640, are a high-end oering that drives Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPs)
