High-density 2U server with 12 bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays populated by twelve 6 TB 7.2 K hard drives. Dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills sixteen of twenty-four slots.

Suited for storage-focused clusters.

This configuration targets software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. Buyers who need all-flash arrays or GPU-accelerated compute should look elsewhere. The system maxes at two processors and 3 TB of memory, so larger scale-up deployments will require additional nodes. Network connectivity is handled by an Intel X520/I350 card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

PERC H730P controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Its 2 GB battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the package.

Questions about this item

Will the server fit in my existing 2U rack space with the included rails?

The system is a 2U rack server and ships with Ready Rails, so it mounts directly into a standard 2U opening without extra brackets.

Can I keep using my current SATA hard drives with the H730P controller?

Yes, the PERC H730P supports SATA drives alongside SAS, so existing SATA disks will work in the 12 front bays.

How do I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 memory.
