Two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors (16 cores each, 2.30GHz base clock) and 128GB of DDR4 memory power this Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server. It carries two 1.92TB SAS SSDs for 3.84TB of raw capacity in two bays of the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, so 22 remain open for expansion.
A PERC H740P RAID controller with 8GB of cache, 2 × 1GbE RJ45 + 2 × 10GbE RJ45 networking (Intel X550) and dual 1100W power supplies complete the specification. Also included: iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and rack rails.
All-flash drives keep storage latency low, so the 32 cores and 128GB can be put to work on transactional databases, analytics or a dense set of virtual machines. Two identical drives make a straightforward RAID 1 mirror for resilience. Console access, power control and hardware alerts stay available over the management port whatever state the operating system is in.
Where hard-disk builds of the R740xd favour capacity, this one favours responsiveness with flash storage. Memory here is twice that of a lighter R740xd configuration, leaving more headroom for memory-bound work.
Condition is certified refurbished, and each server is inspected, bench-tested and wiped in Johannesburg.
