Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors each run at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need high capacity in a compact chassis. Buyers requiring solid-state storage or a smaller rack footprint should consider other options.

Twelve 6 TB SATA drives on a PERC H730P controller

Twelve enterprise-class 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives connect to a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. The controller determines how the raw capacity is presented to the operating system.
