DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-core 128GB DDR4 24-bay 2.5

Dense storage compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need large local capacity alongside dual-socket processing. It targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure hosts and service-provider environments where drive count matters more than GPU expansion.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane

The chassis provides twenty-four front-accessible trays that accept both SAS and SATA drives, letting operators mix high-capacity hard disks with faster solid-state media. No drives are included, so the buyer selects the exact capacity and endurance mix the workload requires.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The integrated H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, and its 2GB flash-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. Quad-port networking (dual 1GbE and dual 10Gb SFP+) and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management ship installed, while redundant 1100W platinum power supplies and sliding rails complete the deployment-ready package.
