DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2x Silver 4210R 10C 32GB 4x 800GB SAS SSD H730P

2U Rack Server with Dual Silver CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rackmount server system built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210R processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.4 GHz with 13.75 MB cache. The platform includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory arranged as two 16 GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. Four 800 GB SAS SSDs provide fast storage through an H730P RAID controller in an eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suited for Virtualisation Hosts Not for GPU Clusters

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database nodes or internal cloud infrastructure where CPU core count and redundant power matter. The dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management simplify lights-out operations. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative models.

Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Limits Internal Storage

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch drive cage populated with four 800 GB SAS SSDs. This ceiling fixes maximum internal capacity unless external enclosures are added. The H730P controller manages RAID across these bays while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots remain available for network or storage adapters.
