DELL PowerEdge R740xd2 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6230 2.1GHz 20 Core 32GB DDR4 26x 8TB SATA

Storage density for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for high-capacity storage deployments. It integrates twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 8 TB SATA disks and dual Xeon Gold 6230 processors. The platform targets software-defined storage, backup repositories and large-scale data management where density and uptime matter.

Suited for capacity-first deployments.

Organisations that need maximum raw storage in a compact rack footprint will match this configuration. Buyers who require higher memory capacity per node, all-flash performance or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed 32 GB DDR4 and HBA330 controller define the current operating envelope.

26 installed 8 TB SATA drives define the capacity

The server ships with twenty-six 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a PERC HBA330 controller, providing the primary storage pool. Expanding beyond this raw capacity requires additional drive bays or external enclosures not included in this unit. The dual 1100 W power supplies support the fully populated chassis.
