DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6226R 16GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226R processors running at 2.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It provides twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays backed by a PERC H730P RAID controller with SAS connectivity. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter is fitted.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration fits organisations that need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage clusters or backup targets. The dual-socket design delivers thirty-two cores for parallel processing. Buyers who require GPU compute or more than sixteen gigabytes of memory out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis supports up to twenty-four small-form-factor drives, making bay count the primary constraint for storage density. With no drives installed, the buyer selects SAS media to match performance and endurance needs. The H730P controller manages RAID levels across all populated bays.
