Dual-socket 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R740 fits two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The dual 16-core CPUs and large memory pool suit dense virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and high-throughput transaction workloads. Buyers who need GPU compute trays or more than eight front bays should consider a different platform.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The integrated controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It manages the eight SATA SSDs and any additional SAS or SATA drives installed in the same backplane.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 768GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 768GB across 24 slots using 32GB DDR4 2666MHz modules. All slots are populated, so expanding to the 3TB maximum requires replacing existing modules.

What does the 2.6GHz base clock with 3.7GHz turbo mean for my workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 6142 runs at 2.6GHz base and can boost to 3.7GHz under load. With two 16-core processors, you get 32 cores total for multi-threaded applications.

What RAID levels does the PERC H730P controller support with these SATA SSDs?

The H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the eight 400GB SATA SSDs.
