High-Density 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage capacity in a compact form factor. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each running 18 cores at 2.7 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across two modules and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. Twenty-six 3.5-inch drive trays provide extensive internal storage density.

Suited for Archive and Analytics Workloads

This server suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, big data analytics platforms, backup repositories or media archives where maximum drive count per rack unit is the priority. The dual 10/25 Gb SFP28 mezzanine card and dual 1 GbE LOM support high-throughput network fabrics. It is not for buyers who need installed drives, additional PCIe expansion beyond the OCP mezzanine, or a front bezel and rail kit included in the box.

26-Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis Constraint

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch drive tray configuration, which sets the storage ceiling for the platform. With no drives installed, the buyer must procure SAS or SATA drives separately to populate the backplane. The H330 controller manages these drives without a RAID cache, so write-heavy workloads should evaluate controller requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.7 GHz base clock with 3.7 GHz turbo mean for sustained workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 6150 runs at 2.7 GHz base and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo across 18 cores, giving 36 total cores for parallel tasks.

How does the PERC H330 controller limit drive throughput?

The H330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity, capping each drive at that link speed without RAID cache acceleration.

Will the 26 drive trays fit standard 3.5-inch SAS and SATA drives?

Yes, the 26 front trays accept 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and connect to the H330 via 12 Gb/s backplane.
