DELL PowerEdge R740 2x Silver 4210R 10C 32GB 8x 2.4TB 10K SAS H730P 2U rack server

Dell PowerEdge R740 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Silver 4210R 10‑core processors, 32 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind an H730P RAID controller. It ships with redundant 1100 W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots. The system is built for virtualisation, database and general compute workloads in a standard rack environment.

Organisations needing dense storage

This configuration suits teams that want eight 2.5‑inch drive bays filled with high‑capacity SAS storage and dual‑socket performance in a 2U form factor. Buyers who need more than 32 GB of RAM, additional PCIe lanes beyond the eight Gen 3 slots, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

32 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed memory is 32 GB DDR4 in two 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. This capacity and speed are fixed unless the buyer adds or replaces DIMMs, so the decision hinges on whether 32 GB meets the application requirements.
