High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo across 18 cores. The chassis holds 26 installed 8 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Redundant 1100 watt power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for storage-heavy deployments

This configuration targets software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories and media archives that benefit from 26 drive bays in a 2U form factor. Buyers who need more compute cores per socket or larger memory capacity out of the box should evaluate other platforms. Organisations requiring front bezel or ready rails must source those separately as they are not included. The server maxes out at two processors, so scale-up beyond dual-socket is not possible.

26-bay 3.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch drive layout populated with 26 eight-terabyte SATA drives, delivering dense capacity in a 2U rack height. This drive count and bay configuration determines whether the chassis fits the planned storage topology and rack space budget. Memory currently sits at 32 GB DDR4 across 16 slots with a 1 TB ceiling for future expansion. Network connectivity includes dual-port 1 GbE LOM and a dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine card.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with 26 drives and rails installed, or must I order them separately?

The unit includes 26 x 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" drives and two 1100 W power supplies; front bezel and Ready Rails are not included.

Should I choose the 32 GB DDR4-2666 configuration or plan for the 1 TB maximum?

Four 8 GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs are installed across 16 slots; the platform scales to 1 TB when all slots are populated with larger modules.

What does the 2.7 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs mean for sustained workloads?

Each of the two 18-core processors runs at 2.7 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo, providing 36 cores total for parallel throughput in storage-heavy tasks.
