2U 26-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for high-capacity storage workloads. It holds twenty-six 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and runs on two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors with 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz. 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC memory and a PERC HBA330 controller complete the base configuration.

Suited for density-focused deployments.

This chassis targets software-defined storage, backup repositories and media archives that need maximum spindle count in minimal rack units. Organisations needing only a few drives or requiring smaller form factors should evaluate alternative platforms.

26 x 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives

The single specification that decides fit is the installed drive count and capacity: twenty-six 4 TB 7.2K RPM SATA drives providing over 100 TB raw storage in a 2U envelope.

Questions about this item

When will the 26 4TB 7.2K SATA drives need replacement?

The 26 enterprise 4TB 7.2K SATA drives are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement when SMART monitoring reports reallocated sectors or after the manufacturer-rated annualised failure rate window.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained all-core workloads on the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs?

The dual 1100W platinum power supplies set the sustained power ceiling; the 24-core processors will throttle before thermal limits if total draw approaches the redundant supply capacity.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis run with both 1100W PSUs loaded 24/7?

Dual platinum 1100W supplies run cooler than gold units; the 2U rack fans ramp to moderate speed under full 26-drive and dual-CPU load, producing typical data-centre noise levels.
