DELL PowerEdge R740xd2 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6150 2.7GHz 18C 64GB DDR4 26x 4TB H730P

High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for workloads that demand maximum storage capacity in minimal rack space. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 total cores at 2.7 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for compute-heavy tasks. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manage the installed drive array.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and media archives where raw terabytes matter more than flash latency. Twenty-six 3.5-inch bays filled with 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives provide immediate high-capacity storage. Buyers who need all-flash speed or a smaller chassis footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twenty-six drive bays define capacity

The chassis supports 26 hot-swap 3.5-inch SATA drives, and this unit ships with every bay populated by a 4 TB enterprise HDD. That bay count is the single constraint that determines whether the server fits your density requirements. Expansion beyond 26 drives requires additional enclosures or a different platform.
