DELL PowerEdge R740xd2 26 Bay 3.5" 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon 8260 24 Core 128GB DDR4 26x 4TB HDD HBA330 2x 1100W

High-capacity 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, 128GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC HBA330 storage controller. Twenty-six 3.5-inch 4TB SATA hard drives are installed, providing dense local storage in a single chassis.

Suits software-defined storage and backup roles

This configuration targets environments that need maximum 3.5-inch drive count in a 2U form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters, big-data analytics and long-term backup repositories. Buyers who require faster flash media, a smaller rack footprint or GPU compute capability should look at alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4TB 7.2K SATA disks, delivering high raw capacity behind a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller. This density decides whether the server fits a capacity-first deployment or if a different chassis layout is required.
