DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 24x 2.4TB SAS H730P iDRAC9 2x 1100W

2U Rack Server with 24 SAS Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The chassis holds twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 2.4 TB SAS hard drives. A PERC H730P controller provides hardware RAID support.

Suits High-Capacity Storage Deployments

This configuration fits environments that need large raw capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure hosts. The dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise enable resilient remote management. Buyers who require solid-state media, more than two processors, or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays backed by a 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. This layout determines total spindle count, RAID flexibility and the maximum raw capacity available without adding external enclosures.
