DELL PowerEdge R740 2U Rack Server 2x Silver 4210R 10C 2.4GHz 128GB 8x 7.68TB SAS SSD H730P

Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute and storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Silver 4210R processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 10 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 16 GB modules and eight 7.68 TB SAS SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration fits organisations that need high core counts and large flash capacity in a compact rack footprint. The eight 2.5-inch bays are fully populated, leaving no room for additional internal drives. Buyers who need more storage bays or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 7.68 TB SAS SSDs define total capacity

The installed drives provide a single large flash pool behind the H730P controller, which determines usable space after RAID overhead. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X550 NDC with two 10 Gb RJ45 and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and redundant 1100 W power supplies are included.
