Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server
This 2U rack server ships with dual Intel Gold 6132 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2.6 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and six 480 GB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides integrated remote management.
Suited for virtualization hosts
The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports dense storage configurations, while up to eight PCIe Gen 3 slots accommodate additional networking or accelerator cards. Dual 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports handle high-throughput traffic. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require an optical drive should look elsewhere.
Eight-bay 2.5-inch SFF chassis
The front panel accepts a maximum of eight 2.5-inch drives, and six bays are populated with 480 GB SATA SSDs. This physical bay count determines how much internal storage can be added without external enclosures.
