Dual 16-core Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built around two Xeon Gold 6246R processors running at 3.4 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports SATA hard drives, which are not included.

Suits dense storage workloads

This platform fits workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who want more storage bays than twelve, or who require a different drive interface, should look at something else.

12-bay 3.5-inch SATA chassis

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays connected to a SATA interface through the PERC H730P controller. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA media.
