Dense 12-bay 3.5-inch storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server populated with two Xeon Gold 6226 processors at 2.7GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, while dual 1100W supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management provide redundancy and out-of-band control.
Suits storage-heavy workloads without GPUs
This configuration targets archives, backup targets, object stores or dense databases that need many large drives and dual-socket compute. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-socket economy, or drive bays smaller than 3.5 inches should look elsewhere, as the chassis, controller and populated CPU sockets are fixed for this build.
512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed
The system ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across both processors, leaving headroom to the 3TB platform maximum for future expansion. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4, so any upgrade must match that specification exactly.

Questions about this item
With two Xeon Gold 6226 CPUs at 2.7 GHz, how many total cores does the system present to the OS?
The two processors provide 24 cores in total, each running at 2.7 GHz with 19.25 MB cache per chip.
What drive interface does the PERC H730P controller use for the 12 bays?
The controller connects the 12 bays through a SATA interface for 3.5-inch drives.
What rack depth is needed for the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis?
The unit is 24 inches deep, so a standard 19-inch rack with at least 24 inches of usable depth will accommodate it.
