Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay 3.5" 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-intensive workloads. It houses two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores running at 2.1 GHz. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a PERC H730P controller.

Suited for software-defined storage

This platform fits organisations that need high drive density in a compact 2U form factor with dual-socket compute power. The twelve 3.5-inch bays and hardware RAID support make it appropriate for capacity-focused deployments. Buyers requiring solid-state speed, GPU acceleration or single-socket economy should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with H730P RAID

The chassis provides twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch bays connected to a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This drive count and controller combination determines whether the storage capacity and redundancy meet the project requirements.
