Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed across 16 DIMM slots. Eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs fill the 2.5-inch drive bays and are managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large flash capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The eight drive bays are fully populated, so buyers who need additional internal storage bays should look elsewhere. Workloads that require more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface will not match this platform.

Eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs on an H730P controller

The storage subsystem centres on eight 7.68TB SAS SSDs connected to the H730P RAID controller. This combination determines both the usable capacity and the RAID levels available. Buyers must verify that the SAS interface and controller feature set align with their application requirements before purchase.
