Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. 128 GB of DDR4 memory fills eight of 24 slots. Twelve 3.5-inch 4 TB SATA drives connect through a PERC H730P controller.

Suits software-defined storage and VDI hosts

This configuration fits service providers and virtual desktop infrastructure that need high capacity in a compact chassis. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than twelve drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. A battery-backed cache protects writes during power loss. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity.
