DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 128GB DDR4 24x 800GB SSD H730P

Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver forty-eight cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller back the twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Suits high-density storage workloads

This server fits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure farms, and service-provider platforms that need maximum drive count in minimal rack space. Buyers who require more than twenty-four drive bays, a tower form factor, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs installed

The chassis arrives fully populated with twenty-four enterprise-class 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s solid-state drives. That fixed capacity and interface determine whether the system matches your storage tier. Verify the drive count and SATA interface against your capacity and performance targets before ordering.
