Storage density for data-intensive workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for high-capacity storage deployments. It integrates twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 8 TB SATA disks and dual Xeon Gold 6230 processors. The platform targets software-defined storage, backup repositories and large-scale data management where density and uptime matter.

Suited for capacity-first deployments.

Organisations that need maximum raw storage in a compact rack footprint will match this configuration. Buyers who require higher memory capacity per node, all-flash performance or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. The installed 32 GB DDR4 and HBA330 controller define the current operating envelope.

26 installed 8 TB SATA drives define the capacity

The server ships with twenty-six 7.2K SATA hard drives managed by a PERC HBA330 controller, providing the primary storage pool. Expanding beyond this raw capacity requires additional drive bays or external enclosures not included in this unit. The dual 1100 W power supplies support the fully populated chassis.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 26-bay version with 8 TB drives or a smaller bay-count model?

This unit is the 26-bay configuration and already ships with 26 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives; no other bay-count option is offered in this listing.

What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6230 speed mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two Gold 6230 processors runs at 2.1 GHz base with a 3.9 GHz turbo boost across 20 cores, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for database and analytics tasks.

How does the HBA330 controller and SATA interface limit drive performance?

The PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity, so the 6 Gb/s SATA drives operate at their native link speed without controller bottleneck.
