PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It arrives with one Intel Xeon 5118 processor running at 2.3GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for internal storage arrays.

Storage-focused deployments.

This configuration suits organisations that need high-capacity SATA storage in a compact rack footprint. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence, and a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter is fitted for fast network connectivity. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a second processor installed from day one, or drives supplied out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the H730P controller. It sets the maximum number of spinning drives you can install without adding external enclosures. If your dataset demands more than twelve large-form-factor drives, this chassis cannot meet the requirement.
