Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz, each providing 8 cores, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. The chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drive trays for SATA or SAS drives, driven by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited for software-defined storage

This platform suits teams deploying software-defined storage, service-provider infrastructure or virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. Two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management simplify uptime. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processors, or a 1U form factor should evaluate other models.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the capacity ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays backed by the H730P controller. If the workload demands more than twelve large-form-factor drives, this chassis cannot expand further. If twelve bays match the plan, the server delivers the CPU, memory and dual 10 GbE plus 1 GbE networking to feed them.

Questions about this item

What hard drives must I supply to populate the 12 x 3.5" trays?

The server accepts 3.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives; no drives are included with the 12 trays.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise my existing SATA and SAS drives?

Yes, the H730P supports both SATA and SAS interfaces with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

How do I confirm the 128 GB of DDR4 memory is running at 2400 MHz after installation?

Check the memory speed reported in the iDRAC9 Enterprise system inventory or the BIOS memory configuration screen.
