Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with one Intel Gold 6148 processor running at 2.4GHz with 20 cores and 27.5M cache. Memory totals 128GB of DDR4 across eight 16GB modules at 2666MT/s. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots.

Ideal for virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualised workloads or transactional databases that benefit from 20 cores and 128GB memory. The dual 10GbE ports support high-throughput east-west traffic. Buyers who need a second processor for NUMA balance or more than two 800GB SAS SSDs for capacity should look at a different SKU.

H730P RAID controller with two 800GB SAS SSDs

The integrated H730P controller manages the two installed 800GB SAS SSDs in hardware RAID. It provides cache-backed data protection and supports the remaining six 2.5-inch bays for future expansion. The controller choice determines which drive types and RAID levels are available for the primary storage pool.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The server ships with bezel, rails and power cords installed. The chassis has eight 2.5-inch drive bays; two are filled with 800GB SAS SSDs and six remain empty for additional drives.

Should I choose a configuration with more processors or more memory?

This unit includes one Gold 6148 20-core processor at 2.4GHz with 27.5MB cache and 128GB DDR4 across eight 16GB PC4-2666 modules. Adding a second compatible processor or larger memory modules would increase capacity.

What does the 2x 800GB SAS SSD figure mean for real-world storage?

The H730P RAID controller manages the two 800GB SAS SSDs, delivering high-throughput, low-latency storage for databases or virtualisation workloads. Six additional 2.5-inch bays are available to expand capacity.
