High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand exceptional storage density in a compact form factor. It delivers enterprise-class performance with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0GHz and 18 cores each, supported by 512GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots.

Suited for backup and software-defined storage

This platform suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives that can utilise 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays. Buyers who need a smaller rack footprint, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

26-bay 3.5-inch SATA capacity

The defining specification is the 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis populated with 8TB 7.2K SATA drives, providing massive raw capacity behind a Dell PERC HBA330 controller. This density determines whether the server fits the storage footprint and drive-type requirements of the target deployment.

Questions about this item

Does the R740xd2 ship with all 26 drive bays populated or do I need to purchase drives separately?

The system arrives with 26 x 8 TB 7.2 K SATA drives already installed in every 3.5" bay, so no additional drives are required for full capacity.

Which storage controller is fitted and can it be changed to a RAID card later?

A Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller is installed; the chassis supports swapping to a PERC RAID controller if hardware RAID is needed.

What usable capacity and redundancy does the 26-drive array provide with the HBA330?

The HBA330 presents each 8 TB drive individually; usable space and redundancy depend entirely on the software RAID, ZFS, or erasure-coding layer you configure in the OS.
