High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum drive density. It targets organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or large media archives.

26 front 3.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the 26 hot-swap 3.5-inch trays, giving exceptional raw capacity in only 2U of rack space. The Dell PERC HBA330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to every bay.

Dual Xeon Gold 6150 with 512 GB DDR4

Two 18-core Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors at 2.7 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory deliver the compute headroom for heavy storage workloads. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform, while the OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot and standard PCIe slots remain open for additional networking or controller cards.

Questions about this item

What does 512GB of DDR4-2666 memory deliver in this 16-slot server?

Sixteen 32GB ECC registered modules fill every slot, giving full bandwidth and single-bit error correction for database or virtualization workloads.

What throughput does the HBA330 controller provide for the 26 drive bays?

The PERC HBA330 Mini is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so each connected drive is limited to that link speed.

How much rack space and power infrastructure does this 2U chassis require?

It occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two hot-swap 1100W platinum power supplies for redundant operation.
