High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 packs 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays into a 2U rackmount chassis. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for parallel workloads. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the installed drives through hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and media archives that prioritise raw terabytes over latency. The 26 enterprise SATA drives spinning at 7.2K rpm provide sequential throughput for large-object workloads. Organisations needing all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or single-socket licensing economics should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch chassis constraint

The 2U form factor fixes the maximum drive count at twenty-six 3.5-inch devices, which determines total raw capacity and physical rack density. Expanding beyond this limit requires additional rack units or a different chassis. Buyers must verify that their rack space, power budget and cooling can support the dual 1100 W platinum power supplies before ordering.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server includes two Xeon Gold 6150 processors, 16GB DDR4 in two 8GB modules, a PERC H730P controller with battery, 26 installed 8TB 7.2K SATA drives, dual 1100W power supplies, a 1GbE LOM, a 57414 dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP card, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise. Front bezel and Ready Rails are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this R740xd2?

The system ships with 16GB across two slots. The board has 16 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1TB total. Add matched DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs in multiples of two to reach the capacity your workload requires.

What does the 2.7GHz base and 3.7GHz turbo mean for actual throughput?

Each Gold 6150 runs at 2.7GHz base with 3.7GHz turbo across 18 cores. With two processors installed you have 36 cores available for parallel storage workloads, virtualization, or database tasks that scale with core count.
