Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 2U Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads. It delivers dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory in a dense storage platform.

Suited for high-capacity storage and archival tasks

The configuration suits teams running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives that benefit from 26 drive bays. Buyers who need faster flash performance, GPU compute density or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms.

26 x 8TB 7.2K SATA drives on H730P controller

The single specification that decides fit is the installed storage array: twenty-six 8TB 7.2K SATA drives behind a Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R740xd2 require?

The server occupies a standard 2U rack space; front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you must supply compatible sliding rails for your cabinet depth.

How are the 26 × 8 TB 3.5″ drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives mount in the front 26-bay backplane; the step often missed is configuring the PERC H730P 2 GB controller with the desired RAID level before loading data.

When will the PERC H730P RAID battery need replacement?

The H730P includes a 2 GB cache battery that typically requires replacement after 3–5 years of continuous operation to preserve write-back cache protection.
