Storage-dense 2U server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, dual Xeon Gold 6142 processors and 128GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It targets environments that need high internal capacity and hardware RAID in a compact rack footprint.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider platforms that benefit from twelve SATA hard drives and a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who need more than two sockets, solid-state media or a 1U form factor should evaluate other configurations.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays combined with the H730P 2GB controller, which determines how many spinning disks can be addressed and which RAID levels are available.
