DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8-core 64GB DDR4 H730P 2x 300GB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the internal drive array.

Suits virtualisation and software-defined storage

This server fits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure or software-defined storage who need twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS bays in a 2U form factor. The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers who need more than two processors or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays

The chassis provides twenty-four hot-swap 2.5-inch bays wired for SAS and SATA drives. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are installed, and the H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and SAS interface determine whether the server matches your storage density requirements.
