DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 256GB DDR4 8x 1.2TB SAS H730P

Rack Server 2U Dual Xeon Gold 6134

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS 2.5-inch drives. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, and ready rails are included.

Ideal for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a compact 2U form factor for virtualisation clusters or transactional databases. The SAS drive array and hardware RAID controller provide consistent throughput for mixed read-write workloads. Buyers who require solid-state drives, GPU accelerator support, or a different core count should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller with Battery

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its onboard battery backs cached writes during power loss, protecting data integrity for the eight 1.2 TB SAS drives. This single component determines whether the storage topology meets your resilience and performance requirements.
