High-Capacity 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 24 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller managing 26 bays. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Storage-Dense Workloads and Backup Targets

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum 3.5-inch drive density in a 2U form factor for software-defined storage, big-data analytics, backup repositories or media archives. The 26 installed 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives deliver raw capacity for sequential, capacity-oriented tasks. Buyers who require all-flash latency, GPU-accelerated compute or workloads that exceed the H330 controller's SAS and SATA support should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-Bay 3.5-Inch SATA Drive Configuration

The single specification that determines fit is the 26-bay 3.5-inch SATA layout driven by the PERC H330 controller. With 26 enterprise 4 TB 7.2K drives pre-installed, the chassis is purpose-built for high-capacity sequential storage rather than low-latency or mixed SSD deployments. Verify that your rack infrastructure, network uplinks and software stack are designed around this drive count and interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the dual Xeon 8260 processors and 128 GB DDR4-2933 are detected after initial power-on?

Log into iDRAC 9 Enterprise, open the inventory view and confirm two Platinum 8260 CPUs at 2.4 GHz with 24 cores each plus 128 GB registered ECC DDR4 running at 2933 MT/s.

Which drives, rails and bezel are included and what must I source separately?

The server ships with 26 x 4 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5″ drives and the H330 controller; front bezel and Ready Rails are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which controller and drive count suit a 26-bay 3.5″ chassis — H330 with 26 x 4 TB or a different RAID card?

The H330 mini 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports all 26 bays; the configured unit already includes 26 x 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives, matching the chassis capacity.
