DELL PowerEdge R740 8LFF 2x Xeon Bronze 3106 512GB DDR4 rack server

Purpose-built 8-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 chassis holds up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and ships with two Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7 GHz. A PERC H730P RAID controller and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence. The unit is new, fully tested and firmware-current.

Suits high-capacity storage workloads

This configuration fits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch drive bays behind a hardware RAID controller for backup, archive or database volumes. Dual-socket design and large memory capacity support virtualisation hosts with moderate compute demands. Buyers who require faster single-thread performance or a smaller 2.5-inch bay layout should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis provides eight large-form-factor bays connected to the PERC H730P controller over SATA. No drives are included, so total raw capacity depends entirely on the disks you add. This bay count is the fixed constraint that determines whether the server matches your storage plan.
