Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for capacity-heavy workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4‑2666 ECC memory and 26 front‑accessible 3.5‑inch drive bays provide a ready‑to‑run platform for software‑defined storage, backup repositories and media archives.

Suited for bulk data workloads

This configuration fits teams that need maximum SATA drive density in a 2U footprint with redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management. Buyers who require all‑flash SAS or SSD performance, GPU compute density or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms.

26‑bay 3.5‑inch SATA capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 26‑bay 3.5‑inch SATA layout backed by the PERC H330 controller. It determines how many 8 TB drives you can install and whether the storage topology matches your capacity‑first design.
