  • Dual Xeon Gold 6148 20-core CPUs deliver 2.40 GHz base and 3.70 GHz turbo for heavy workloads
  • 256 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory across eight 32 GB modules supports large-scale virtualization
  • 48 TB enterprise nearline SAS storage in four 12 TB 3.5-inch 7.2 K RPM drives provides high-capacity retention
  • PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache accelerates array performance and data protection
  • Redundant hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management keep critical services running

Dual Xeon 6148 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system supplied new with a rail kit. It arrives with dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each offering 20 cores at 2.40 GHz with turbo up to 3.70 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and 48 TB of storage via four 12 TB enterprise nearline SAS drives.

Virtualization and Storage Workloads

The configuration suits organizations running dense software-defined storage, virtualization clusters, private cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing tasks. The PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache and hot-swappable redundant power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who require installed and validated hardware, flash-optimized drive bays, or a form factor smaller than 2U should evaluate alternative platforms.

48 TB Nearline SAS Capacity

The storage subsystem provides 48 TB of raw capacity using four 3.5-inch 12 TB drives spinning at 7.2K RPM with a 12 Gb/s SAS interface. Drives and memory modules ship separately and require installation before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 48 TB SAS array or a smaller capacity for this R740?

The server ships with four 12 TB Enterprise Nearline SAS drives giving 48 TB raw capacity; select a smaller array only if your workload needs less space.

What does the 2.40 GHz Xeon 6148 speed mean once the server is running?

Each of the two 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors runs at 2.40 GHz base and can boost to 3.70 GHz under load, so multi-threaded workloads see sustained high frequencies.

How does the PERC H730 12 Gb/s RAID controller cap real-world throughput?

The PERC H730 supports 12 Gb/s SAS lanes, so the 7.2 K RPM Nearline drives are limited by their own spindle speed rather than the controller interface.
