Dense storage compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits twelve 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and two Xeon Gold 6142 processors into a single chassis. It targets teams running software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider workloads that need local capacity alongside multi-threaded CPU power.

Sustained throughput under load

Dual 16-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo feed the PERC H730P controller, which manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across twelve 8 TB enterprise drives spinning at 7.2K rpm. Redundant 750-watt platinum supplies and four 16 GB DDR4-2666 registered ECC modules keep data moving during extended rebuilds or heavy VM migrations without throttling.

Replaces split storage-and-compute boxes

This configuration consolidates a separate JBOD and compute pair into one 2U unit, saving rack space and cabling when capacity and CPU must scale together. It is not suited for buyers who need all-flash speed, GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets.
