Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Storage Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with two Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3 GHz. A total of 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T network adapter.
Suits dense storage workloads
Organisations that need high local capacity in a 2U rack footprint will match the twelve-bay design with large SATA drives. The dual 18-core CPUs and half-terabyte memory pool support heavy consolidation. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or direct-attached U.2 devices should look at a different platform.
Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling
The 12 LFF bays set the maximum raw capacity and drive count for this configuration. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects SATA HDDs or SSDs to fill the chassis. This bay count is the single specification that decides whether the server fits the planned dataset.
