PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P RAID controller provide high-capacity flash storage.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This server suits organisations running virtualised environments, database clusters or high-throughput applications that benefit from dual-socket compute and hardware RAID. The redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, flash tiers beyond SATA, or single-threaded frequency beyond 3.7 GHz should evaluate other platforms.

24 DDR4 slots and PERC H730P controller

The motherboard offers 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 3 TB of registered ECC memory for future expansion. The installed PERC H730P controller manages the eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write cache. This combination determines whether the storage performance and memory headroom match the target workload.
