High-density 2U server with 26 bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 8TB 7.2K SATA hard drives. Dual Xeon Gold 6154 processors and 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute foundation. The PERC H730P controller manages RAID across the full array.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This configuration targets backup repositories, media archives, and software-defined storage clusters where raw capacity per rack unit is the priority. The 7.2K SATA drives deliver high throughput for sequential workloads. Buyers who need low-latency random I/O or all-flash performance should evaluate different media. The two-processor limit also caps vertical scaling headroom.

26 x 8TB SATA drives on H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the storage subsystem: twenty-six 3.5-inch 8TB 7.2K SATA drives connected to a Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller. This combination fixes the usable capacity, RAID options, and drive-level performance envelope. Confirm that the drive count, interface, and controller feature set match the intended workload before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 26x 8TB SATA drives fit in my existing 3.5-inch hot-swap backplane?

Yes, the 26 drives are 3.5-inch 7.2K SATA units that mount directly in the server's front bays.

How do I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs and 128GB DDR4-2666 ECC memory are recognised at boot?

Check the POST screen or iDRAC 9 Enterprise System Inventory for two 18-core processors at 3.0 GHz and eight 16 GB modules.

Does the box include rails, bezel or SFP28 cables for the Broadcom 57414 10/25Gb ports?

Front bezel and Ready Rails are not included; SFP28 cables for the OCP 2.0 mezzanine card must be purchased separately.
