High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 delivers a 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis in a 2U form factor, populated with twenty-six 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives and driven by two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors at 2.4 GHz with 24 cores each. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller provide the compute and RAID foundation for storage-heavy workloads.

Suited for capacity-centric deployments

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories, media archives and big-data analytics that prioritise raw capacity and drive count over all-flash speed. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-threaded frequency above 3.9 GHz or a smaller rack footprint should look at alternative platforms.

Twenty-six drive bays with H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 26-bay 3.5-inch SATA/SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; if the application cannot use that many mechanical drives or requires a different controller feature set, this server is not the right part.

Questions about this item

What does 2.4 GHz mean once the two Xeon Platinum 8260 CPUs are installed?

Each processor runs at a 2.4 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.9 GHz Turbo when thermal headroom allows, giving 24 cores per socket for multi-threaded workloads.

What does the H730P controller with 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA cap in practice?

The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, with a 2 GB cache backed by battery for write protection.

What does the 2U chassis need to fit 26 front 3.5-inch drives?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and uses 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays; front bezel and ready rails are not included.
