DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 32GB DDR4

High-density 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide twenty-four cores at 2.1GHz for compute-heavy workloads. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management at scale.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets users who need maximum local capacity with hardware RAID via the PERC H730P. Buyers requiring pre-populated drives or GPU acceleration should look at alternative builds. The 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter supports high-throughput networking.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays decide fit

The chassis accepts up to twelve SATA hard drives, making bay count the primary constraint for capacity planning. Verify that your rack depth and power budget match the 36-inch depth and dual 1100W supplies before ordering.
