Purpose-built storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide twenty-four cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache support RAID levels up to 60.

Suited to capacity-first workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, backup targets and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw terabytes matter most. The twelve 6 TB SATA drives deliver seventy-two terabytes of spinning media. Buyers who need solid-state speed or more than sixty-four gigabytes of memory out of the box should look elsewhere.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The 2U form factor holds exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, fixing the maximum raw capacity at seventy-two terabytes with the supplied 6 TB units. Expansion beyond twelve bays requires a different chassis, so capacity planning starts and ends with this bay count.
