A pair of Intel Xeon Silver 4216 chips (2.10GHz, 16 cores each) and 128GB of DDR4 power this Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 2U rack server. The drive complement is eight 8TB 7.2K SATA hard drives, 64TB before RAID, occupying eight bays of the 24-bay 3.5-inch chassis and leaving 16 free. A BOSS card with two 240GB M.2 SATA SSDs is fitted for the operating system, keeping the front bays for data.
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. With eight drives, RAID 6 keeps six drives' worth of capacity and survives two simultaneous drive failures.
Memory is kept modest in this R740xd2 build, which suits compute and storage roles more than large virtual-machine estates. Core count is a step up on the lighter R740xd2 configurations.
Sold as certified refurbished, the server passes inspection and a bench test, and has its storage wiped, in Johannesburg before release.
