Here the Dell PowerEdge R740 2U rack server comes with two 12-core Intel Xeon Silver 4214R CPUs at 2.40GHz alongside 128GB of DDR4 RAM. It carries eight 1.92TB SAS SSDs for 15.36TB of raw capacity, occupying eight bays of the 16-bay 2.5-inch chassis and leaving eight free.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H740P hardware RAID (8GB cache), dual-port 10GbE RJ45 networking (Intel X550) and dual 1100W power supplies. The configuration also lists 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.
Compared with a hard-disk build of the same R740, this all-flash configuration trades raw capacity for much lower storage latency. That is twice the memory of a lighter R740 build, which matters most for virtual machines and caching.
Sold as certified refurbished, the server passes inspection and a bench test, and has its storage wiped, in Johannesburg before release.
