12-Bay 3.5-Inch Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with two 1100 W power supplies.

Suits Cold-Storage And Archive Builds

This configuration fits teams that need high drive-count capacity for backups, archives or sequential throughput on SATA media. The dual-socket design and 3 TB maximum memory ceiling also support virtualisation clusters with moderate compute demands. Buyers who need faster single-thread performance, GPU compute slots or all-flash arrays should look at a different platform.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The defining spec is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many spinning drives you can attach and what RAID levels are available. Confirm that your workload fits within the SATA interface and the 1.9 GHz Bronze CPU before ordering.
