Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It arrives with one Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processor running at 2.1 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays connected to a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch

This configuration fits teams that run virtual machines or container clusters and want high-capacity SATA drives in a compact 2U form factor. The single CPU and 64 GB RAM limit heavy database or analytics workloads, so buyers needing more cores or larger memory footprints should look at dual-processor or higher-capacity configurations. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE adapter cover basic console and network needs without extra cards.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P RAID

The defining specification is the eight-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many spinning drives or SATA SSDs you can install and what RAID levels are available. No drives are included, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA media. This bay-and-controller combination decides whether the server matches the storage density and redundancy plan.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count for this R740?

This unit ships in the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis, giving room for up to eight SATA drives and the PERC H730P controller to manage them.

How does the Xeon Silver 4110 at 2.1GHz perform in a live R740 workload?

The single 8-core 2.1GHz Silver 4110 with 11MB cache handles multi-threaded server tasks, and a second socket can be added later for more throughput.

What does the PERC H730P controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730P provides hardware RAID over the SATA interface, so array speed is limited by the SATA link of each installed drive.
