DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Bronze 3106 64GB DDR4 rack server

Server for dense 3.5-inch storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis holds eight 3.5-inch drive bays behind a PERC H730P RAID controller. Two Xeon Bronze 3106 processors run at 1.7 GHz with eight cores each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and dual 750 W power supplies complete the base configuration. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is included.

Suits cold-storage and archive workloads

This platform fits buyers who need high-capacity 3.5-inch SATA arrays with hardware RAID. It is not for buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, GPU acceleration, or single-socket economics. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE two-port adapter cover basic console and network needs without extra cards.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the H730P controller. If your dataset demands that exact bay count and RAID feature set, this chassis matches; otherwise a different bay layout or controller is required.
