DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6134 1TB DDR4

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to twelve 3.5-inch drives and ships with two Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz. One terabyte of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, and a PERC H730P RAID controller manages the SATA backplane. Dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundancy and remote control for data-centre deployment.

Suits High-Capacity Archive and Backup Workloads

Organisations building large near-line repositories, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters benefit from the twelve-bay density and dual-socket compute. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, all-flash arrays, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms because the chassis and board do not support those additions. The integrated graphics and single 10 GbE adapter also limit virtual-desktop or high-throughput networking scenarios.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Maximum Capacity

The 12LFF backplane is the hard limit on raw storage; each bay accepts a 3.5-inch SATA drive so total capacity scales with the drives you populate. Memory can grow to 3 TB across the available DIMM slots, but the drive-bay count cannot be expanded beyond twelve. Confirm your dataset fits within that physical constraint before ordering.
