Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, 64GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P controller. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays come populated with 4TB SATA hard drives.

Suited for virtualisation

This configuration fits environments that prioritise raw capacity and redundant power in a compact chassis. Buyers needing solid-state speed, PCIe flash support or more than 64GB of memory out of the box should evaluate other platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane

The chassis provides twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA bays, all filled with 7.2K enterprise drives. That bay count and interface dictate whether the server matches your storage topology.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the 12 drive bays populated with the 4TB drives, or must the drives be purchased separately?

The unit ships with all 12 bays filled by Dell Enterprise 4TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" hard drives, so no additional drives are required for the listed capacity.

Which processor configuration does this listing provide — single or dual Xeon Gold 6148?

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors are installed, each with 20 cores running at 2.4 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency.

How much usable storage can I expect from the 12x 4TB drives when configured with the PERC H730P controller in RAID 6?

RAID 6 across the 12 drives provides roughly 40 TB of usable capacity after parity overhead, with the H730P's 2 GB cache supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.
