2U 26-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. It ships with twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 4 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives, delivering over 100 TB of raw capacity in a compact form factor.

Suited for Archive and Software-Defined Storage

This configuration suits organisations deploying backup repositories, media archives, or software-defined storage clusters where capacity per rack unit is the priority. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, all-flash performance, or a smaller chassis footprint should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6230 with PERC H730P RAID

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors provide forty cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo for parallel throughput. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the twenty-six drives, defining the array performance and redundancy limits.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 20-core 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6230 processors once installed?

Two Gold 6230 CPUs give 40 cores at 2.1 GHz base with 3.9 GHz turbo, suited for parallel workloads such as virtualization, databases and analytics.

Which storage interfaces does the PERC H730P controller support and what speed ceiling do they impose?

The H730P handles 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so the 26 installed 7.2K SATA drives run at their native 6 Gb/s link rate.

What physical clearance and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis need for installation?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and uses standard square-hole rails; front bezel and rails are not included.
