PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U two-socket rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Xeon Platinum 8160 24-core processors at 2.1 GHz, 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and twelve 8 TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives behind a PERC H730P RAID controller. Redundant 750 W power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise and quad-port networking complete the platform.

Suited for software-defined storage

This configuration targets deployments that need high raw capacity in a compact 2U form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories or VDI host nodes. Buyers who require all-flash performance, a smaller 1U footprint or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

12-bay 3.5-inch drive chassis with H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis paired with the H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the workload demands that exact drive count and RAID flexibility in 2U, this server matches; otherwise a different bay count or controller is required.
