2U Rack Server for Accelerated Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2-socket 2U rack server built to accelerate application performance with accelerator cards and storage scalability. It ships new with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 12-core processors at 2.3 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages two 800 GB SATA SSDs in eight 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for Dual-Socket Density and ECC Memory

This platform suits teams needing dual Xeon compute density, hardware RAID across SATA or SAS drives, and 10 GbE SFP+ networking with iDRAC 9 Enterprise management. Buyers requiring single-socket economics, GPU-heavy configurations beyond the 2U thermal envelope, or memory capacity above 768 GB should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller Decides Storage Fit

The installed PERC H730P with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for SATA and SAS devices. If your deployment demands this specific hardware RAID feature set and drive interface, the server matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 800 GB SSDs or add more drives to the 8-bay chassis?

The server ships with two 800 GB SATA SSDs in a 2.5-inch 8-bay chassis, leaving six bays free for additional SATA or SAS drives if you need more capacity or a different RAID layout.

What does the 2.3 GHz Xeon Gold 5118 actually deliver under load?

Each 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 runs at 2.3 GHz base and can turbo to 3.2 GHz, giving 24 cores total for parallel workloads such as virtualization or database processing.

How fast is the PERC H730P controller with these SATA SSDs?

The PERC H730P provides a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface with 2 GB cache, so the installed 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs operate at their native SATA 6 Gb/s speed.
