Dell PowerEdge R740 8SFF 128GB Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for virtualization and database workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Suits virtualization hosts needing dense 2.5-inch
This configuration fits teams consolidating VMs or running memory-heavy applications that benefit from the installed 128GB capacity and the H730P controller's cache. It is not for buyers who require dual-processor performance out of the box or who need pre-installed storage drives. The single CPU limits maximum core count to ten until a second processor is added.
Eight 2.5-inch SAS bays with PERC H730P
The defining spec is the eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller. This combination dictates the drive form factor, interface and RAID capabilities available immediately. Buyers must supply their own SAS drives or SSDs to populate the bays before the array can be configured.
