High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each with 24 cores running at 2.4 GHz and a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 slots and 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for archive and backup targets

This configuration fits organisations that need maximum raw capacity in a compact rack footprint. The 26 installed 4 TB drives are managed by a PERC HBA330 controller and are intended for sequential, capacity-focused workloads. Buyers who need low-latency transactional performance or flash-optimised IOPS should look at alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch chassis constraint

The defining specification is the 26-drive 3.5-inch bay layout in a 2U form factor, which fixes the physical storage ceiling. Expansion beyond the installed drives requires populating the remaining bays with compatible SATA or SAS media. The HBA330 controller presents drives directly without hardware RAID abstraction.
