DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 1x Xeon Gold 6126 128GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 12 large-form-factor 3.5 inch drive bays in a 2U rack footprint, giving capacity-focused teams a single platform for bulk data workloads. One Xeon Gold 6126 processor at 2.6GHz with twelve cores and 19.25MB cache delivers the compute base, while 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports virtualisation density.

Enterprise chassis signals

Dual 1100W supplies and the PERC H730P RAID controller are installed, providing redundant power and hardware RAID for the SATA drive population you add. The integrated 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise licence give high-speed networking and full out-of-band management from day one.

Replaces scattered 1U nodes

Consolidating multiple single-socket servers into this 12-bay platform cuts rack space, cabling and licensing overhead when storage growth outpaces the compute headroom of smaller boxes. The jump is worth it when your dataset needs more spindles than a 4-bay or 8-bay chassis can hold and you want a second processor socket free for future expansion.
