Dell PowerEdge R740 8LFF Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon 5118 Gold processors running at 2.3GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA storage arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence. The unit is sold without hard drives installed.
Suited for virtualisation hosts
The dual 12-core CPUs and 3TB maximum memory capacity support dense virtual machine deployments or database applications that need large RAM pools. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere because the platform maxes out at two CPUs and offers only integrated graphics. The 8LFF form factor also limits density compared with 2.5-inch bay alternatives.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID
The storage controller manages redundancy and performance across the installed drives using the SATA interface. No drives are included so you must supply compatible 3.5-inch SATA disks to populate the bays. Maximum raw capacity depends entirely on the drive sizes you choose.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count?
The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports up to eight large-form-factor drives, giving maximum raw capacity for archive or backup workloads.
What does the 2.3 GHz Xeon 5118 figure mean once the server is running workloads?
Two Xeon 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz deliver 24 cores total, providing strong multi-thread throughput for virtualization and database tasks.
How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface cap real-world drive performance?
The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives at 12 Gb/s per port, so sustained throughput is limited by the SATA link rather than the controller.
