Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for high-capacity storage deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores, and 64 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots. The chassis provides 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays and dual 1100 W hot-swap power supplies.

Suited For Data-Intensive Workloads

This platform suits software-defined storage clusters, big data analytics, backup repositories and media archives that demand dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require installed drives, a front bezel, ready rails, or a different drive form factor should consider other configurations.

26-Bay 3.5-Inch Drive Capacity

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch drive tray layout, which sets the maximum raw storage potential and physical drive compatibility for this chassis. The PERC H330 controller manages SAS and SATA devices, while the OCP 2.0 mezzanine card adds dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 connectivity.
