Capacity & form factor

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server that holds up to 12 large-form-factor 3.5-inch drives. Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each with 10 cores at 2.4 GHz, deliver 20 threads of compute power. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the SATA backplane. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed.

Suited workloads & limits

This platform fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or backup targets that need dense 3.5-inch storage and dual-socket performance. The iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables full remote management. Builds requiring 2.5-inch bays, GPU acceleration or memory beyond 3 TB should consider other chassis.

Deciding specification

The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis is the single constraint that determines fit. If the deployment needs that drive count in a 2U rack footprint, this server matches; otherwise a different form factor is required.
