DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6138 384GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors running at 2.0 GHz, each providing 20 cores and 27.5 MB cache. The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. It supports up to 24 small-form-factor 2.5-inch drive bays and includes dual 1100 W power supplies with iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for dense storage clusters

This configuration suits operators who need maximum drive density in a 2U chassis with dual-socket compute performance. It is not for buyers who need a 1U footprint, tower form factor, or a single-processor platform. It is not for deployments that require installed drives, GPUs, or memory capacities beyond the 384 GB fitted. Sites without rack infrastructure or 10 GbE networking should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730P controller

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P RAID controller, which determines how many SATA drives can be attached and what RAID levels are supported. The installed 384 GB DDR4 memory and dual Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs are fixed in this build, while storage capacity is added separately. Verify that your rack depth accommodates the 36-inch chassis and that your workload fits within the fitted memory before ordering.
