High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-heavy workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors provide 40 total cores at 2.1GHz with 3.9GHz turbo. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC HBA330 controller support the installed drive set.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This configuration fits backup repositories, media archives and software-defined storage clusters that prioritise raw terabytes over compute density. The 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis and dual 1100W power supplies are sized for continuous disk operation. Buyers needing higher core counts, larger memory footprints or all-flash performance should evaluate other platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch SATA capacity

Twenty-six enterprise 4TB 7.2K SATA drives deliver massive sequential throughput for sequential workloads. The HBA330 presents disks without RAID abstraction, ideal for Ceph, ZFS or object-store layers. Network connectivity includes dual 1GbE LOM and a dual-port 10/25Gb SFP28 OCP mezzanine for scale-out traffic.

Questions about this item

Which storage capacity configuration is included with the 26 installed 3.5-inch SATA drives?

The system ships with 26 enterprise 4 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5" hard drives, providing a dense 2U storage platform for backup repositories and software-defined storage.

How does the 2.1 GHz base clock and 3.9 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon Gold 6230 processors translate to real-world throughput?

Two 20-core Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs deliver 40 cores total at 2.1 GHz base with 3.9 GHz turbo, suited for data-intensive workloads such as big-data analytics and large-scale data management.

What practical throughput ceiling does the PERC HBA330 controller impose on the 26 SATA drives?

The PERC HBA330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so each 6 Gb/s SATA drive operates at its native link speed while the controller aggregates up to 12 Gb/s per port for the installed drive set.
