2U rack server with 26-bay storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 20 cores each and 3.9 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller. Twenty-six 8 TB 7.2K SAS 3.5-inch drives are installed, providing high-capacity storage in a dense chassis. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power.

Suits high-capacity storage and archival workloads

This server fits software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories and media archive deployments that need maximum drive count in 2U. The 26-bay SAS design supports large sequential workloads and long-term retention. Buyers needing all-flash performance, GPU compute density or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms. The dual 10/25 GbE SFP28 mezzanine card and iDRAC 9 Enterprise enable high-throughput networking and remote management.

26-bay 3.5-inch SAS drive capacity

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch SAS chassis populated with 8 TB 7.2K drives. This density determines whether the platform matches the storage volume and form-factor requirements of the target deployment. The PERC H330 controller manages the array, and the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane connects every installed drive. Verify that the workload can operate within the 2.1 GHz 20-core CPU envelope and 128 GB memory configuration.
