Dell PowerEdge R740 8-bay server
This Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for compute-intensive workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processor running at 3.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller for storage management.
Suits virtualisation hosts
The single-socket configuration and 256 GB of DDR4 suit virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases and application servers that benefit from high core-count Xeon performance. Buyers who need dual-processor throughput or more than 3 TB of memory capacity should look at a different platform. No drives are installed so storage must be sourced separately.
Eight 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H730P RAID
The defining specification is the eight-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many drives you can add and which RAID levels are available. This combination fixes the storage density and redundancy options for the deployment.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the single-processor or dual-processor configuration for this R740?
The chassis supports up to two Xeon processors; this unit ships with one Gold 6134 installed, leaving the second socket available for a future upgrade.
What does the 3.2 GHz clock speed mean for actual workloads?
The Gold 6134 runs eight cores at 3.2 GHz with 24.75 MB cache, delivering strong single-thread performance for databases and virtualization.
How does the PERC H730P controller limit the 3.5" SATA drive bays?
The H730P manages all eight 3.5" bays over SATA, providing hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with 2 GB cache.
