Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF dual Xeon server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218R processors running at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for internal storage arrays. The system includes a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter and dual 750 W power supplies. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Ideal for dense storage and virtualisation workloads
The eight large-form-factor bays suit organisations that need high-capacity SATA arrays for backup, archiving or database workloads. Dual 20-core CPUs and 256 GB RAM support heavy virtualisation or container density. Buyers who need PCIe flash tiers, GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate other platforms.
PERC H730P RAID controller with eight 3.5-inch bays
The H730P controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight drive bays. It delivers hardware RAID performance with 2 GB non-volatile cache. This combination determines the storage throughput and redundancy options available without adding external enclosures.

Questions sur cet article
Should I choose the 8-drive 3.5" chassis or a smaller bay count for this R740?
The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA bays, so select the 8-bay version when you need maximum internal capacity; fewer bays only reduce the number of drives you can install.
What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 5218R speed mean once the server is running workloads?
Each of the two 5218R processors runs at 2.1 GHz base frequency with twenty cores total, delivering multi-threaded throughput for virtualization and database tasks.
How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface affect real-world drive performance?
The H730P RAID controller manages the SATA drives with hardware RAID levels, and the SATA link caps each drive at 6 Gb/s, limiting sequential throughput to that ceiling.
