Eight-bay 3.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack-mount chassis. Two Xeon Gold 6244 processors run at 3.6 GHz with eight cores each and 24.75 MB cache. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed.

SATA interface and PERC H730P controller

The storage controller is a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller that manages SATA hard drives in the eight front bays. No drives are included in this configuration. The integrated 562T adapter delivers dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports for network connectivity.

Check power and rail requirements

Dual 750 W power supplies are fitted and the unit weighs 40 lb with dimensions of 36 x 24 x 10 in. Verify that your rack can accept the depth and weight and that a rail kit is available if you need one. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote management out of the box.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the eight 3.5-inch drive bays or a smaller bay count for this R740?

The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays; populate only the bays you need and add drives later.

What does the 3.6 GHz clock on the two Xeon Gold 6244 CPUs deliver in a live workload?

Each processor runs eight cores at 3.6 GHz base frequency with 24.75 MB cache for strong single-thread and multi-thread performance.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit real-world drive speed?

The PERC H730P handles RAID across the SATA bays; each drive is capped by the SATA link rather than the controller.
