Dell PowerEdge R740XD2 2 x 18 Core 2.20GHz Gold 5220 128GB 8 x 12TB 7.2K SATA H730P

High-Capacity Compute with Enterprise-Level Reliability

The Dell PowerEdge R740XD2 2U rackmount server is designed to tackle storage-heavy workloads without compromising on compute. It comes equipped with 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 5220 18-core processors running at 2.20GHz, paired with 128GB of DDR4 memory for serious multitasking power. Storage is king here: 8 x 12TB 7.2K 12Gbps SAS drives give you a massive 96TB of raw capacity, ideal for high-throughput environments. A Dell BOSS controller handles boot duties via dual 240GB M.2 SSDs, while the PERC H730P RAID controller adds performance and protection. It features an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence, 1GbE dual-port networking, dual 1100W PSUs, and comes with rack rails included.

Designed for Archiving, Surveillance & Object Storage at Scale

This build is perfect for organisations needing dense storage capacity with compute to match. Think Veeam backup targets, video surveillance retention, file servers, or large-scale object storage. The 96TB of SAS storage delivers fast, reliable throughput for write-heavy tasks and cold storage scenarios. Thanks to the Gold 5220 CPUs and 128GB RAM, it can also handle light virtualisation or metadata indexing in parallel. Whether you're in media archiving, law enforcement, healthcare imaging, or enterprise backup, this configuration gives you room to scale without overengineering compute.
