Rack Server for Compute Workloads

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz with twelve cores each and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed across eight 16GB modules. It includes a PERC H730P RAID controller managing two 7.68TB SAS SSDs in a chassis that supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Roles

This system fits environments that need dual-socket performance with redundant 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, optical media support or a different network interface should evaluate other platforms.

Storage Controller Determines Drive Compatibility

The H730P controller governs which SAS drives can be used and how they are configured in RAID arrays. Verify that your intended drives are on the controller's supported list before purchase.
