Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server designed for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each offering twelve cores at 2.6GHz, providing a total of twenty-four cores. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16GB modules and six 480GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation hosts, database clusters, or high-throughput applications that benefit from twenty-four threads and redundant 1100W power supplies. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots allow storage and I/O expansion. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays, additional memory capacity beyond 128GB, or a different processor core count should look at alternative platforms.

H730P RAID controller with 6x 480GB SSDs

The H730P controller manages the six included 480GB SATA SSDs in a choice of RAID levels for redundancy or capacity. Two drive bays remain open for future growth within the 2.5-inch chassis. The installed storage controller determines which drive types and RAID modes are supported, making it the key specification to verify against workload requirements.
