Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay rack server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4108 processors running at 1.8GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller and includes remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise. The unit ships without installed storage drives.
Suitable buyers and limitations
This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation, database workloads, or general-purpose compute where dual-socket performance and large memory capacity are required. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, all-flash backplanes, or a compact 1U form factor will not find those features here. The fixed 750W power supplies and integrated graphics also limit high-density GPU farm deployments.
Critical specification — PERC H730P RAID controller
The installed Dell PERC H730P controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported for the eight SATA bays. Verify that your intended drive protocol and RAID configuration are compatible with this specific controller before purchase.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count?
The 740 chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch drives so you can fill all bays now or add drives later as capacity needs grow.
What does the 1.8 GHz clock speed mean for actual workloads?
Two 4108 processors at 1.8 GHz provide eight cores each for parallel workloads such as virtualisation or database serving.
How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?
The H730P connects over SATA so each drive is capped at the SATA interface throughput rather than a faster protocol.
