Build My Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2

Built for the petabyte problem. The R740xd2 trades expansion slots for sheer capacity, fitting up to 24 front-accessible 3.5" drives plus rear bays into 2U, for 26 drives in a single chassis. Two Intel Xeon Scalable processors (up to 44 cores total) and 16 DIMM slots with up to 1TB of DDR4-2933 keep the compute side capable without overspending on cores you won't use. Five PCIe Gen 3 slots and onboard networking up to 25GbE handle your uplinks, while M.2 boot modules keep the OS off your data drives.

It's the right call for media archives, backup targets, surveillance storage, Ceph and ZFS nodes, and any home lab where drive count is the whole point. Like every BuildMyServer system, yours is built to order, validated through T.I.P.S., and backed by our 1-Year warranty.
