High-Capacity 2U Server for Data-Intensive Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for software-defined storage, backup repositories and large-scale analytics. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors deliver 20 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo for heavy compute tasks. 512 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory across 16 slots supports data integrity. Twenty-six 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives provide massive raw capacity in a dense 3.5-inch form factor.

PERC HBA330 Controller and 25 GbE Mezzanine Card

The Dell PERC HBA330 mini controller offers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity without RAID overhead, presenting all 26 drives directly to the operating system for software-defined storage stacks. A Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card adds high-speed networking for replication or client access. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise enable redundant power and full remote lifecycle management. Front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Verify Rack Depth, Power and Network Infrastructure

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with sufficient depth for cabling and airflow behind the 26 front drive bays. Ensure dual 1100 W supplies match available PDU circuits and voltage in your facility. Plan SFP28 optics or direct-attach cables for the 25 GbE mezzanine ports and 1 GbE LOM connections. Memory expansion beyond 512 GB requires DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs compatible with 16 total slots and a 1 TB maximum. No PCIe add-in cards are installed; check slot availability if additional controllers or NICs are needed.

Questions about this item

When will the 26 installed 8 TB SATA drives need replacement?

The 26 Dell Enterprise 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives are rated for continuous operation; replace individual units when SMART alerts or iDRAC 9 Enterprise reports a failure.

What limits sustained throughput on the HBA330 controller?

The PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA bandwidth shared across 26 drive bays, so aggregate throughput caps at the controller link speed.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual 1100 W PSUs running all day?

Dual 1100 W Platinum supplies and redundant hot-swap fans keep the 2U enclosure within Dell thermal specs; exact dB and temperature vary with workload.
