High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum internal storage capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo across 18 cores, and 256 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots.

Suited for storage-heavy deployments

This configuration fits organisations running software-defined storage, backup repositories, big-data analytics or media archives that can use 26 front-access 3.5-inch drive bays. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU compute density or a smaller 1U footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch SATA/SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 26-drive 3.5-inch front bay count paired with a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. If the workload requires more than 26 internal drives or a different drive form factor, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4-2666 configuration or add more modules later?

The server ships with 256 GB across eight 32 GB DDR4-2666 ECC registered DIMMs. Sixteen slots are available, so you can expand up to 1 TB by filling the remaining eight slots with matching modules.

What does the 3.0 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo mean for my workloads?

Each of the two Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs runs 18 cores at 3.0 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz under load, giving 36 cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization, analytics or database work.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the 26 SATA drives?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2 GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through, so all 26 drives can be managed in a single array or multiple virtual disks.
