DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4108 384GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Storage Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.8 GHz. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. The system includes dual 1100 W power supplies and a 10 GbE 562T two-port network adapter for high-throughput connectivity.

Suited for dense archival workloads.

IT teams needing maximum spinning-disk capacity in a compact rack footprint will appreciate the twelve LFF bays and hardware RAID support. The 384 GB memory ceiling handles large file-system caches and virtualization hosts comfortably. Buyers requiring all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or more than two CPU sockets should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage

The chassis accepts up to twelve SATA hard drives, so raw capacity scales directly with the number of large-form-factor disks installed. No drives are included, allowing the buyer to populate only the bays required for the current dataset. This bay count is the single constraint that determines whether the R740xd fits the intended archive or backup target.
