Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with twelve cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and ready rails complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits environments that need dual-socket compute density, hardware RAID across eight 2.5-inch bays and out-of-band management via iDRAC9 Enterprise. Buyers who require GPU accelerator slots, additional drive bays beyond eight or single-thread speeds above 3.0 GHz should evaluate other platforms.

Storage controller decides RAID flexibility

The PERC H730P with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, determining which redundancy and performance profiles are available for the eight installed SSDs.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 800GB SSDs or a larger capacity for this R740?

This unit ships with eight 800GB SATA SSDs installed; the 2.5-inch bays accept larger SATA or SAS drives if more capacity is needed.

What does the 2.1GHz Xeon Silver 4116 speed deliver in a live workload?

The two 12-core processors run at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.0GHz turbo, giving 24 threads for virtualisation or database tasks.

How does the H730P controller limit the 800GB SATA SSDs in practice?

The PERC H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2GB cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for the eight installed drives.
