DELL PowerEdge R740 2U 2x Silver 4210R 10C 64GB 4x 300GB SAS H730P

2U rack server with dual Silver 4210R

This Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 ships new as a 2U rack server with two Intel Silver 4210R processors at 2.4GHz, each delivering 10 cores. It includes 64GB of DDR4 memory in four 16GB modules running at 2666 MT/s. The H730P RAID controller manages four 300GB 10K SAS drives installed in the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Dual 1100W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are fitted.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing PCIe Gen 3

The eight PCIe Gen 3 slots and 10GbE plus 1GbE networking make this system a fit for hypervisor clusters, database nodes or application servers that need add-in cards. Buyers who need more than 64GB of memory, more than four 300GB drives, or a GPU-capable chassis should evaluate alternative platforms.

H730P RAID controller with four 300GB SAS drives

The single specification that decides fit is the H730P controller paired with four 300GB 10K SAS drives. This combination fixes the storage protocol, drive count and performance envelope, so confirm that your workload and capacity planning match this exact RAID and drive configuration before purchasing.
