2U dual-socket storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Xeon Gold 6148 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.4 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. Twelve 3.5-inch 6 TB SATA drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for scale-out storage and virtualisation

This configuration targets software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity and redundant power matter. The quad-port network card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need solid-state speed or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform because this unit ships with only mechanical SATA drives and no GPU provision.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Its 2 GB cache and battery backup protect in-flight writes during power loss. This single component determines whether the array can meet your data-integrity and throughput requirements.
