DELL PowerEdge R740xd2 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6150 2.7GHz 32GB DDR4 26x 4TB SATA

Storage density for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for environments that demand high storage capacity in a compact form factor. It ships with 26 drive bays populated by 4 TB SATA hard drives and a PERC H730P controller. Dual Xeon Gold 6150 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute base for software-defined storage, backup repositories and large-scale archives.

Suited for capacity-first deployments.

This server fits organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch drive count in 2U of rack space and can work within the installed 32 GB memory limit. Buyers who require larger memory footprints, GPU acceleration or all-flash performance should evaluate alternative platforms. The two 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise support standard datacentre operations.

26-bay 3.5-inch chassis defines the storage ceiling

The 26-drive front-loading design is the single specification that determines whether this chassis matches the planned storage topology. No additional 3.5-inch bays are available internally, so total raw capacity and drive-count scaling are fixed by this layout.
