Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with a single Intel Gold 6132 processor, 14 cores at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules. Four 7.68 TB SAS SSDs and an H730P RAID controller provide high-capacity, low-latency storage out of the box.

PCIe Gen 3 and 10GbE network limits

The system offers up to eight PCIe Gen 3 expansion slots for additional controllers, accelerators or networking cards. Dual 10 Gb RJ45 ports and dual 1 Gb RJ45 ports handle east-west and management traffic, but the Gen 3 bus caps total throughput per slot below newer Gen 4 or Gen 5 platforms. Buyers needing 25 GbE or faster native connectivity must add a compatible adapter.

8-bay 2.5-inch chassis capacity

The chassis supports a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and four are already occupied by the installed SSDs. Only four bays remain for future storage growth, so environments planning larger arrays will need external enclosures or a different chassis. The H730P controller manages RAID across all internal bays.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5-inch bay version or a different drive-bay layout for this R740?

This unit ships with the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis; four bays are filled with 7.68TB SAS SSDs and four remain open for expansion.

What does the Gold 6132 14-core 2.6GHz CPU deliver in a live workload?

Fourteen cores at 2.6GHz with 19.25MB cache handle parallel database threads and virtualization hosts with consistent throughput.

How does the H730P controller limit the 7.68TB SAS SSDs in daily use?

The H730P runs 12Gb SAS lanes and PCIe Gen 3 slots, so each SSD reaches full sequential speed while RAID overhead stays low.
