Storage-Dense 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand maximum drive density in minimal rack space. Dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, while 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory across 8 modules supports data-intensive applications. Twenty-six 3.5-inch drive trays connect to a PERC H330 controller for SAS and SATA arrays.

Workload Fit

This platform suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, backup repositories, big-data analytics or media archives where raw capacity per rack unit is the primary constraint. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and dual-port 10/25 GbE OCP networking simplify remote management at scale. Buyers needing hardware RAID acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

Drive Bay Count

The defining specification is the twenty-six 3.5-inch front bays served by a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H330 controller. This bay count fixes the maximum raw capacity and airflow profile before any drives are selected.
