Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12 Bay 3.5" 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-intensive workloads. It houses two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drive trays.

Suited for Software-Defined Storage.

Organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure or software-defined storage clusters will benefit from the dense drive count and dual-socket performance. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-socket economy or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative platforms. The quad-port network card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration.

Storage Capacity Decided by Twelve 3.5-Inch Trays

The chassis provides twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch trays for SATA or SAS hard drives; no drives are installed. Maximum raw capacity depends entirely on the drives you populate. The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB backed cache. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the platform.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a 2 GB battery-backed write cache; plan to swap the battery module every three to five years to keep write-back caching active.

What limits sustained throughput on the storage controller?

The H730P caps at 12 Gb/s per SAS lane, so the controller bandwidth becomes the bottleneck before the 3.5" drive trays do.

How loud and hot does the server run with both 750 W platinum PSUs loaded all day?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies and redundant fans keep inlet temperatures within spec, but expect noticeable fan noise in a quiet office.
