Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for high-capacity storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors running at 3.1GHz with 4.0GHz turbo, each providing 18 cores. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 16 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache.

Suited for bulk storage and archive workloads

This configuration fits teams deploying software-defined storage, backup repositories or media archives that demand dense 3.5-inch drive bays. The 26 installed 8TB SATA drives deliver raw capacity for sequential workloads. Buyers who require more than two processors, larger memory configurations than 64GB out of the box, or all-flash performance tiers should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch chassis with SATA drives

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch front panel populated with 7.2K SATA hard drives. This density determines whether the server matches a capacity-first deployment or if a smaller bay count with faster media is more appropriate.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum memory capacity and how many DDR4 slots are available for future upgrades?

The server supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 memory across 16 DIMM slots, with 64 GB currently installed in four modules.

Which component limits sustained performance first, the 7.2 K RPM SATA drives or the PERC H730P controller?

The 26 x 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives will reach their throughput ceiling before the 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller saturates.

How much power do the two 1100 W platinum supplies draw under continuous full load?

Each supply is rated at 1100 W platinum efficiency; total input power will scale with the dual 18-core CPUs, 26 drives, and memory population.
