DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 1x Xeon Silver 4110 384GB DDR4 No Drive

24-bay R740xd server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 24 two-and-a-half-inch drives in a 2U rack form factor. One Xeon Silver 4110 processor running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores is installed, and the system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter are fitted, while dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits storage-heavy workloads; not for GPU compute

This configuration targets buyers who need high drive density for databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters. The single-socket layout and integrated graphics mean the server cannot accommodate GPU-accelerated workloads or a second processor without additional parts. Organisations requiring out-of-the-box GPU support or dual-CPU performance should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 SFF bays define capacity ceiling

The 24 small-form-factor bays set the maximum number of SAS drives or SSDs the system can hold, directly limiting raw storage capacity. Expanding beyond this count would require a different chassis or external enclosures.
