Condition - Refurbished
Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24x2.5" Rack Server
2x Intel Xeon Gold 6226 2.7GHz 12-Core Processors
128GB Memory
PERC HBA330 Controller
16x Dell 1.92TB 6G SATA 2.5" SSDs
Intel I350-T4 Quad-Port 1Gb rNDC
1x Intel X710-DA2 Dual-Port 10Gb DA/SFP+ Network Adapter
iDRAC Enterprise
2x 750W AC PSU
Bezel
Sliding Rail Kit
NO OS INCLUDED
****All servers can be fully customized****
Who It's For
- TrueNAS, ZFS or Unraid all-flash storage
- Ceph or vSAN nodes, where the HBA330 hands disks straight to the software
- Veeam or other backup repositories that need fast restores
- Hyperconverged hosts that run VMs and storage on one box
Customize It
Eight of the 24 bays are open, so you can add up to eight more drives. We can also add memory, change to 25GbE networking, or swap the HBA330 for a PERC H740p if you want hardware RAID. Request a quote.
Storage Build or GPU Build?
This R740xd is configured for storage. It ships with 750W power supplies and no GPU enablement kit, so it isn't set up for a datacenter GPU. If you want GPU compute, our GPU builds come with the enablement kit, 1600W supplies and the right cooling already installed:
- R740xd GPU Ready (no GPU) — $2,995
- R740xd Dual V100 32GB — $5,849
- R740xd A40 48GB — $10,959
Frequently Asked Questions
How much usable space will I get?
30.7TB raw. In ZFS RAIDZ2 or RAID 6, expect roughly 26TB usable before compression. Mirrors give about half of raw.
Why an HBA330 instead of a RAID card?
ZFS, Ceph and vSAN want direct access to each disk. The HBA330 passes them through untouched. We can swap in a PERC H740p if you prefer hardware RAID.
Can I add a GPU to this one?
Not as configured. GPUs need the enablement kit, low-profile heat sinks, a high-performance fan kit and 1600W supplies. Our GPU Ready build already has them.
Does it come with an operating system?
No. It supports TrueNAS, Windows Server, VMware ESXi, Proxmox and major Linux distributions. iDRAC Enterprise lets you install remotely.
What warranty applies?
The Resilient Tec lifetime warranty. If something fails, we send an advance replacement when we have one in stock, or repair or replace it with an equivalent.
