Two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors (18 cores each, 2.30GHz base clock) and 256GB of DDR4 RAM power this Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 2U rack server. The drive complement is eight 10TB 7.2K SAS hard drives, 80TB before RAID; 16 bays of the 24-bay 3.5-inch chassis are still free. Two 480GB M.2 SATA SSDs on a BOSS card handle the operating system, separate from the data drives.
A PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB of cache, dual-port 1GbE RJ45 networking (Broadcom 5720) and dual 1100W power supplies complete the specification. Also included: iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and rack rails.
The capacity-first layout suits backup targets, media libraries and large file shares, where raw terabytes matter more than random I/O. RAID 6 across all eight drives would keep six drives' worth of space and tolerate two drive failures.
Memory here is twice that of a lighter R740xd2 configuration, leaving more headroom for memory-bound work. The Gold processors are a tier up from the entry R740xd2 builds.
Certified refurbished condition: the server is inspected, bench-tested and data-wiped in Johannesburg.
