Dense 12-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U chassis and ships with two Xeon Gold 6148 processors at 2.4 GHz, 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1100 W supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence complete the base platform for storage-heavy workloads.

Suited for cold-storage clusters not for high-IOPS

Buyers who need twelve large SATA spindles managed by hardware RAID and remote firmware control will find the configuration ready to deploy. Workloads that require more than twelve drive bays or demand faster media interfaces will need external expansion or a different platform.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays set the storage ceiling

The chassis accepts exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; no additional internal bays exist. If the dataset grows beyond that spindle count the server cannot accommodate it without external enclosures.
