Here the Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U rack server comes with two Intel Xeon Gold 6240 processors (18 cores each, 2.60GHz base clock) alongside 128GB of DDR4 memory. Storage comes as eight 1.2TB 10K SAS hard drives, 9.6TB raw; 16 bays of the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis are still free.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H740P hardware RAID (8GB cache), 2 × 1GbE RJ45 + 2 × 10GbE RJ45 networking (Intel X550) and dual 1100W power supplies. Also included: an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
Typical jobs for this build include hosting a few virtual machines, running an ERP or accounting database, or serving internal applications. Planned as RAID 6, the eight drives leave six drives' worth of usable space with double parity.
Against an all-flash R740xd build, this configuration favours capacity over latency. That is twice the memory of a lighter R740xd build, which matters most for virtual machines and caching.
Condition is certified refurbished, and each server is inspected, bench-tested and wiped in Johannesburg.
