2U 8-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 occupies two rack units and provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Xeon Gold 6246R processors run at 3.4 GHz with sixteen cores each. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller.
Buyers needing dense local storage
This configuration suits workloads that benefit from up to eight hard drives and thirty-two threads. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration, more than three terabytes of RAM, or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.
Eight 3.5-inch bays define storage capacity
The chassis accepts up to eight SATA hard drives, which the PERC H730P manages through hardware RAID. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and redundancy to match the application.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the eight 3.5-inch drive bays and the installed PERC H730P controller?
The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch bays for SATA drives. The PERC H730P controller manages those drives with hardware RAID. Select drives that match your capacity and performance needs; the controller will present them as logical volumes to the operating system.
What does the 3.4 GHz clock speed on the two Xeon Gold 6246R processors deliver in this server?
Each processor runs at 3.4 GHz with 16 cores, giving 32 cores total. That clock speed sets the base frequency for compute-intensive workloads such as virtualization, database, or rendering tasks running on the installed DDR4 memory.
How does the 10 GbE 562T adapter and SATA interface affect storage throughput?
The 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter provides up to 10 Gbps network bandwidth for iSCSI or NFS storage traffic. The SATA drive interface and PERC H730P controller determine the maximum drive-level throughput inside the chassis.
