Here the Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 2U rack server comes with two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors (18 cores each, 2.30GHz base clock) alongside 128GB of DDR4 RAM. Storage comes as eight 4TB 7.2K SAS hard drives, 32TB raw, occupying eight bays of the 24-bay 3.5-inch chassis and leaving 16 free. Two 480GB M.2 SATA SSDs on a BOSS card handle the operating system, separate from the data drives.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H730P hardware RAID (2GB cache), dual-port 1GbE RJ45 networking (Broadcom 5720) and dual 1100W power supplies. The configuration also lists an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
Roles that fit well include backup and replication targets, video and media archives, and file servers holding years of data. Planned as RAID 6, the eight drives leave six drives' worth of usable space with double parity.
It is one of the lighter-memory R740xd2 builds; a configuration with more memory is the step up for memory-bound workloads. Its Gold-tier processors sit a step above the entry CPU options for this model.
As a certified refurbished server, it is inspected, bench-tested and data-wiped by our Johannesburg team before release.
