Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 memory in a 4x 16GB configuration and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Two 1.2TB 10K SAS drives are installed in the front bays. The system includes redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for virtualization and database workloads

The dual 14-core CPUs and 64GB DDR4 suit virtualization hosts, database servers, and compute-intensive applications. The H730P controller supports RAID across the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Built-in 10Gb and 1Gb Ethernet ports handle network traffic without extra cards. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require different controller features should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 64GB memory capacity may limit very large in-memory datasets.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with H730P RAID

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays backed by the H730P RAID controller, which determines how many drives you can add and which RAID levels are available. This bay count and controller combination is the key constraint for storage expansion planning.
