Storage-Dense 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-intensive workloads. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 4TB 7.2K SATA hard drives. Dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2GHz provide 16 total cores. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules.

Suited For High-Capacity SATA Arrays

This configuration fits software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that prioritise raw capacity over flash speed. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2GB cache. Buyers needing SSD or SAS media should look elsewhere because the installed drives are SATA hard disks only. The four-port X520/I350 network card offers two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ connections.

Twelve 3.5-Inch SATA Drive Bays

The chassis provides twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch bays wired for SATA and SAS, all occupied by 4TB 7.2K RPM drives in this listing. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across 24 DDR4 slots, leaving eight slots free for future expansion. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance should I plan for with the twelve 4 TB 7.2 K SATA HDDs in the 3.5-inch bays?

The twelve 4 TB 7.2 K SATA drives are hot-swappable; a failed unit can be replaced without powering down the server.

Which component will hit its limit first during sustained heavy I/O on the PERC H730P with 2 GB cache?

The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane and the H730P controller set the sustained throughput ceiling for the twelve 4 TB drives.

How much heat and power will the dual 750 W Platinum PSUs draw when the Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz Turbo all day?

Each 750 W Platinum supply operates at high efficiency; redundant hot-swap design keeps the system running if one unit fails.
