Here the Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server comes with two Intel Xeon Gold 6248R processors (24 cores each, 3.00GHz base clock) alongside 512GB of DDR4 memory. The drive complement is eight 3.84TB SAS SSDs, 30.72TB before RAID in eight bays of the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis, so eight remain open for expansion.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H740P hardware RAID (8GB cache), dual-port 10GbE RJ45 networking (Intel X550) and dual 1100W power supplies. You also get an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
This is the kind of build that suits database servers and virtualisation hosts where storage latency, not capacity, sets the pace. RAID 10 across the eight drives would keep four drives' worth of space while mirroring every write. That is a generous amount of memory per core, useful for caching and memory-heavy virtual machines.
Compared with a hard-disk build of the same R740, this all-flash configuration trades raw capacity for much lower storage latency. It carries more memory than the lighter R740 builds, which matters most for virtual machines and caching.
Condition is certified refurbished, and each server is inspected, bench-tested and wiped in Johannesburg.
