Balanced enterprise performance with reliable SAS storage
The Dell PowerEdge R740XD2 2U rackmount server is a dependable choice for mid-tier enterprise environments needing a mix of compute capability and scalable storage. Featuring 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors with 16 cores each at 2.30GHz, this build offers 32 physical cores and strong multithreaded performance. Paired with 128GB of DDR4 memory, it provides ample headroom for running virtual machines, file services, and backup workflows. Storage is handled by 8 x 4TB 7.2K 12Gbps SAS drives, delivering 32TB of raw capacity with better throughput and durability than SATA equivalents. A Dell BOSS card with dual 240GB M.2 SSDs manages OS duties, while the PERC H730P RAID controller ensures redundancy and flexibility. It also includes iDRAC9 Enterprise, dual 1GbE networking, dual 1100W PSUs, and rack rails.
Ideal for SMB virtualisation, file services, and backup targets

The Gold 5218 CPUs and 128GB RAM offer the right blend of power and capacity for small to mid-sized VM deployments, internal file servers, or departmental storage hubs. The 32TB of SAS storage is fast and reliable—perfect for Veeam backup repositories, structured file systems, or retention of customer and compliance data. It’s a cost-effective, flexible solution for growing IT environments needing performance and resilience without overprovisioning.
