The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay SFF is a two-socket 2U rack server designed for storage-intensive workloads. Where the standard R740 focuses on balanced compute, the “xd” (extreme density) variant adds more drive capacity, more NVMe options and mid-bay and rear drive expansion, making it a top choice for software-defined storage, hyperconverged infrastructure, databases and high-performance flash arrays.
Every server we sell is [tested / fully refurbished / brand new] and configured to your exact requirements.
