DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12 Bay 3.5" 2U Server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16 Core 64GB DDR4 H730P

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores, plus 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730P controller and twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays provide the internal capacity for large datasets.

Ideal for software-defined storage

This configuration suits teams deploying scale-out storage, backup targets or VDI clusters that benefit from high drive counts in a compact chassis. Buyers who need fewer drive bays, single-processor economics or GPU-accelerated compute density should evaluate other form factors.

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap bays define

The chassis accepts up to twelve 3.5-inch hard drives or SSDs on a single controller, so total raw capacity is limited by the number and size of drives you install. No drives are included, so the usable capacity and performance depend entirely on the disks you populate.
