About This Product
Overview
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a rack server designed for organizations that need a balanced mix of processing power, memory support, and scalable storage in a dependable 2U platform. This configuration combines dual Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors with 32GB of ECC RDIMM memory, giving it a strong foundation for virtualization, business applications, file services, and general enterprise server use. The 8-bay 3.5-inch chassis provides room for large-format SAS drives, making it well suited for environments where capacity and serviceability matter. With Dell engineering, integrated RAID management, and redundant power supplies, this server is built to fit into structured IT deployments where stability and expandability are important.
Performance & Scalability
Powered by two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors, the PowerEdge R740 offers a multi-core platform that can handle parallel workloads efficiently. The 20-core, 40-thread CPU design is useful for tasks that benefit from additional processing resources, including virtualization hosts, database workloads, and application servers. ECC memory helps support reliable operation, while the H740 RAID controller adds storage management flexibility for performance-oriented or redundancy-focused configurations. Because the system is built on a rack server architecture, it can be integrated into larger infrastructure environments where consistent performance and straightforward maintenance are priorities. The combination of dual processors and expandable storage bays makes this model a practical choice for growing IT needs.
Storage Flexibility
This configuration includes eight 4TB HGST Ultrastar SAS hard drives, delivering a total of 32TB of raw storage capacity across the installed drives. The 3.5-inch LFF design is ideal for deployments that prioritize capacity per bay, while the 12Gb/s SAS interface supports enterprise storage connectivity. The included H740 RAID controller helps manage the drive array for different storage strategies, depending on how the server is deployed. Whether the goal is shared storage, local data retention, or a mixed workload environment, the 8-bay layout gives administrators a flexible base for organizing data and balancing capacity with resilience.
Why Choose This Product?
The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a strong option for buyers looking for a proven rack server platform with enterprise-class features already in place. Dual Xeon Gold processors, ECC memory, SAS storage, RAID management, and redundant power supplies create a well-rounded system for business IT environments. Its 8 x 3.5-inch chassis supports high-capacity drives, making it useful for storage-heavy deployments without sacrificing the benefits of a rack-mounted server design. For organizations that want a configurable Dell server with a solid balance of compute and storage, this R740 offers a practical and scalable foundation.
About this server
Dell PowerEdge R740 with two Xeon Gold 6138 processors, 32GB DDR4 2666 ECC, eight 4TB HGST SAS drives for 32TB and an H740 controller. Tested and stocked in Doha, delivered across Qatar within a day.
This is a storage server. ServerDove built it in Doha on the R740 8 x 3.5 inch LFF chassis and filled every bay: eight HGST Ultrastar 4TB 7.2K 12Gb/s SAS hard drives for 32TB raw, managed by a Dell H740 RAID controller with its own cache. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors, 20 cores and 40 threads each at 2.0GHz, 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz ECC RDIMM memory and redundant power supplies complete the 14th generation 2U platform.
Buyers in Qatar deploy this refurbished R740 as a backup repository, a file server for large media, a video surveillance store or a software defined storage node. With RAID 6 across eight drives it offers around 24TB usable with two drive fault tolerance, and the 40 cores leave plenty of processor for deduplication or virtual machines alongside.

Configuration
| Model | Dell PowerEdge R740, 2U rack, 14th generation |
| Drive bays | 8 x 3.5 inch LFF, all populated |
| Processors | 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6138, 20C 40T, 2.0GHz |

| RAID controller | Dell H740 |
| Power supplies | Redundant |
What this configuration suits
Capacity roles. Eight 7.2K drives in RAID 6 on a cached controller deliver sequential throughput well suited to backups, archives and video, with protection against two simultaneous drive failures. RAID 10 trades capacity for faster random access if a busier file workload is planned.
It is less suited to random I/O heavy databases, where spinning drives are the limit regardless of the processors. The 32GB of memory is adequate for a storage role and can be raised for a virtualisation role.
Upgrade paths
- Memory: 24 DIMM slots across two processors, 2666 MT/s to match the fitted modules
- Storage: the front bays are full; rear 2.5 inch bays, where fitted, or PCIe NVMe cards add a fast tier
- Network: 10 or 25 GbE cards in the PCIe 3.0 risers, worth adding for a 32TB store
- Management: iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote console
