Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense deployments. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6254 processors each run 18 cores at 3.1 GHz with 4.0 GHz turbo. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2933 ECC registered memory across 16 slots. Twenty-six 3.5-inch 4 TB SATA drives connect through a PERC HBA330 controller. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits high-capacity storage and backup targets

This server fits teams that need maximum 3.5-inch drive count in 2U for software-defined storage, backup repositories or media archives. The HBA330 operates in pass-through mode so the OS manages the drives directly. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration should look at a PERC RAID model instead. Workloads that demand more than two sockets or more than 1 TB of RAM exceed this platform.

26 x 3.5-inch 4 TB SATA bays

The defining specification is the 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays populated with 7.2K SATA drives. This density decides whether the chassis meets your raw-capacity target in a single 2U space. If the project requires fewer bays, smaller drives or a different form factor, another platform will be a better fit.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 26-bay version or a smaller bay count for this R740xd2?

This unit is the 26-bay 3.5-inch configuration; no other bay count is offered for this listing.

What does the 3.1 GHz base clock mean when both Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs are installed?

Two 18-core Xeon Gold 6254 processors run at 3.1 GHz base and can boost to 4.0 GHz Turbo, giving 36 total cores for parallel workloads.

How does the HBA330 controller limit drive performance on the 26 SATA bays?

The PERC HBA330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity; each 7.2K SATA drive is capped at the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed.
