DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 512GB DDR4 24x 1.2TB SAS

Built for storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with twenty-four 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo and 512 GB of DDR4‑2666 ECC memory provide the compute base for software‑defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service‑provider workloads. Redundant 1100 W platinum supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad‑port 1 GbE plus dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking complete the package.

Fits scale‑out storage and VDI

Organisations that need maximum drive bays in a 2U form factor with hardware RAID and remote management will match this configuration. Buyers who need fewer drive slots, a lower core count or a different network interface mix should evaluate other platforms.

The 24‑bay 2.5″ SAS backplane decides fit

With twenty‑four front‑accessible 2.5″ SAS bays wired to a single H730P controller, the chassis defines how many spindles you can address without external enclosures. If the workload requires more or fewer internal bays, a different chassis is required.
