8-Bay Rack Server for Storage Workloads

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Two Xeon Silver 4216 processors at 2.1 GHz deliver sixteen cores and 22 MB cache. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. The system ships without drives and includes a 10 Gb dual-port 562T network adapter and dual 750 W power supplies.

Suits Capacity-Focused Deployments

The eight large-form-factor bays suit archives, backup targets or media repositories that need high raw capacity on SATA media. Buyers who need faster flash tiers or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The integrated GPU covers only basic console output. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

PERC H730P RAID Controller Decides Fit

This controller manages the eight SATA bays and determines which RAID levels and drive counts are supported. Confirm that its feature set matches the array design before purchase. Memory can scale to 3 TB with additional DDR4 modules. The rack dimensions are 36 x 24 x 10 inches and the unit weighs 40 units.
