Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database workloads and general-purpose compute. It ships with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules. The chassis supports up to 8x 2.5" drive bays and includes an H730P RAID controller managing 4x 7.68 TB SAS SSDs. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management out of the box.

Virtualization and database teams

This configuration suits teams that need dense storage and redundant 1100 W power in a 2U form factor. The 10 Gb and 1 Gb Ethernet ports handle mixed traffic without extra NICs. Buyers who need more than 8 PCIe Gen 3 slots, GPU-dense compute or a larger drive bay count should look at a different platform.

4x 7.68 TB SAS SSDs on H730P

The storage subsystem delivers four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs behind the H730P controller, giving a high-capacity flash tier for databases or virtual machines. The controller supports hardware RAID levels for redundancy and performance. If the workload requires more than four drives or a different interface, the current drive count and controller are the limiting factors.
