2U rack server for data-intensive storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high storage density in a compact footprint. It suits organisations running software-defined storage, backup repositories or media archives that need many drives in a single chassis. Buyers who need GPU compute or a small desktop tower should look elsewhere.

Sustained throughput with dual Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs

Two Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors run at 3.1 GHz with a 4.0 GHz turbo, providing 18 cores each for consistent multi-threaded performance. The 256 GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory across 16 slots supports data integrity during long-running analytics or backup jobs. The HBA330 controller presents 26 SATA drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID overhead.

Direct drive access and remote management

The 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays hold 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives that slide in without tools, while the HBA330 passes them through as raw block devices. iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control over power, firmware and console redirection. The dual 1100 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable, but rails and a front bezel are not included, so plan for separate rack mounting hardware.
