Dense 2U Storage Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage density. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors provide 40 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller support the twenty-six installed 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management complete the platform.
Suited For High-Capacity Archives
Organisations running software-defined storage, big data analytics, backup repositories or media archives will use the twenty-six 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 10/25 GbE SFP28 networking. Buyers who need more compute threads per terabyte or who require a smaller rack footprint should evaluate different platforms.
Twenty-Six Bay 3.5-Inch Chassis
The defining specification is the 2U chassis that holds twenty-six 3.5-inch SATA drives, delivering over two hundred terabytes of raw capacity in two rack units. This density decides whether the server fits the storage footprint and drive-count requirements of the target deployment.

Questions about this item
What does the 2.1 GHz base clock mean for real workloads?
Each of the two Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.9 GHz, giving 40 total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases or analytics.
What does the H730P controller cap in practice?
The PERC H730P with 2 GB cache manages the 26 SATA drives at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA speeds and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.
What does the 2U chassis need to fit in a rack?
The server occupies 2U of rack height and uses sliding rails; the front bezel and rails are not included, so you must supply compatible rails for your cabinet.
