DELL PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24C 64GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF is a rack-mount server system built for storage density. It ships with one Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processor running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and 33 MB cache. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller with two 1100 W power supplies. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits buyers who need up to twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for large-capacity SATA drives. The single 24-core processor and 64 GB of DDR4 memory handle moderate virtualisation or database tasks. Buyers who require dual processors, maximum memory expansion or high-frequency cores for compute-intensive jobs should evaluate different platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis supports twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, which is the primary specification that determines whether this server meets your storage requirements. The installed PERC H730P controller manages RAID across these bays. No drives are included, so the final usable capacity depends entirely on the drives you select.
