Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density in a compact footprint. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 2.7 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. A total of 64 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory is installed across four modules. Twenty-six 3.5-inch 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives are pre-populated behind a Dell PERC HBA330 controller, providing over 100 TB of raw capacity.

Suited for archive and backup targets.

This configuration suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, backup repositories or media archives where sequential throughput and capacity per rack unit are the primary metrics. The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify operations in dense racks. Buyers who need more than 1 TB of system memory, or who require a higher core count per socket, should evaluate other platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch SATA drive bay count

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis that supports SATA and SAS drives through the HBA330 controller. This bay count fixes the maximum raw storage at 26 drives and determines the cabling, backplane and airflow requirements for the deployment.

Questions about this item

What drives and rails come in the box, and what must I source separately?

The server ships with 26 x 4 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" drives and two 1100 W PSUs; front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Should I pick the 64 GB configuration or plan to fill all 16 DDR4 slots?

64 GB (4 x 16 GB DDR4-2666 ECC) is installed; 12 slots remain free for expansion up to 1 TB.

What does the 2.7 GHz / 3.7 GHz Turbo rating mean when both Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs are under load?

Each 18-core processor runs at 2.7 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz Turbo, giving 36 total cores for parallel workloads.
