DELL PowerEdge R740 2U rack server 2x Gold 6126 12C 128GB 4x 960GB SAS SSD H730P

2U rack server with dual Gold 6126 CPUs

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6126 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes four 960 GB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and provides up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server fits organisations that need a dense, dual-socket platform with integrated 10 GbE and 1 GbE networking, redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface should consider other configurations. Teams without rack infrastructure or those seeking a tower form factor will not be able to use this chassis.

H730P RAID controller with four 960 GB SAS SSDs

The H730P controller manages the four installed 960 GB SAS SSDs and can support additional drives within the eight-bay chassis. Its feature set determines which RAID levels and caching options are available for the deployment. If the application demands a specific RAID capability not offered by this controller, the server will not meet that requirement.
