Storage-dense 2U server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 12-bay 3.5-inch rack server built for workloads that need high capacity in a compact form. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for storage-heavy roles

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. Buyers who need more than 12 drive bays, all-flash speed or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform. The system maxes out at two processors and 3 TB of memory.

12 x 3.5-inch SATA bays

Twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch bays populate the chassis with 4 TB enterprise drives at 7.2 K rpm. The SATA interface and PERC H730P controller define the storage topology; no other drive interface is present in this unit.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-bay 3.5" model or a smaller chassis for my storage workload?

The 12-bay 3.5" chassis holds twelve 4TB enterprise SATA drives on the H730P controller, giving high raw capacity in a 2U rack footprint for software-defined storage or VDI.

How do the dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors perform once installed in a live workload?

Two 16-core CPUs at 2.1GHz base with 3.7GHz turbo deliver 32 cores and 64 threads for virtualization, database or SDS tasks, backed by 512GB DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS/SATA H730P controller cap in real use?

The PERC H730P with 2GB cache supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through at 12Gb/s per drive lane, limited by the 7.2K SATA drives' sustained throughput.
