Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6226R 256GB DDR4 No Drive Server

Dense 24-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U chassis measuring 36 x 24 x 10 inches. Dual Xeon Gold 6226R processors deliver thirty-two cores at 2.9 GHz with 22 MB cache each. Two hundred fifty-six gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory populate sixteen DIMM slots. The system ships without drives so you choose the capacity mix.

PERC H730P RAID and 10 GbE

A Dell PERC H730P controller manages the SATA backplane and frees CPU cycles for applications. Dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy for the fully populated bay count. An integrated 562T two-port 10 GbE adapter handles high-throughput networking without an extra card. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote console and lifecycle control.

Sustained throughput for storage workloads

The twenty-four-bay layout keeps all spindles or SSDs online during long rebuilds or streaming jobs. Redundant power and the hardware RAID cache maintain write performance when a drive fails. Sixteen memory channels feed both sockets evenly, avoiding NUMA imbalance under heavy database or virtualisation load. Integrated graphics eliminate a discrete GPU slot, leaving all PCIe lanes for storage expansion.
