Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server ships with dual Intel Silver 4210 processors, each delivering 10 cores at 2.6 GHz. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The system is designed for virtualisation, database and general compute workloads in a standard rack environment.

Suits teams needing dense CPU cores

Organisations that require more than twelve cores per socket or faster 10K SAS spindles should evaluate alternative configurations. Buyers who need an optical drive or a different drive-bay count will not find those features on this chassis.

Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives

The installed storage consists of eight 2.4 TB 10 000 RPM SAS drives served by an H730P hardware RAID controller. This combination determines usable capacity, redundancy options and I/O throughput for the workloads above.

The Silver 4210 has 10 cores at 2.6 GHz while the Gold 6126 has 12 cores at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache; choose Gold for heavier parallel tasks.

How does 128 GB DDR4 at 2666 MT/s perform in a live R740?

Eight 16 GB DDR4 modules fill half the slots, giving 128 GB at 2666 MT/s with room to expand for larger datasets.

What does the H740P controller cap in an 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

The H740P manages up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives with hardware RAID, limiting total raw capacity to the installed drive count.
