Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12 Bay Storage Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage density. It carries two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each and 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen modules. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap trays served by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache, while quad-port networking adds two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE links. Redundant 750 W platinum supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails and bezel complete the unit.

Suited for software-defined storage

This configuration fits organisations that need high drive capacity in a compact rack footprint with dual-socket compute and hardware RAID flexibility. The installed memory and controller support mixed SAS and SATA workloads without additional licensing. Buyers who require more than twelve drive bays, factory-fitted solid-state drives or support for more than two physical processors should evaluate alternative configurations. The server ships without drives, so storage media must be sourced separately.

PERC H730P 2 GB cache RAID controller

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the installed drive trays can be fully utilised. The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, enabling both performance and redundancy across all twelve bays. Its 2 GB backed cache accelerates write-heavy applications while protecting data during power loss. Confirm that the controller feature set matches your storage topology before deployment.

Questions about this item

How much DDR4 memory can the R740xd hold before the 24 slots are full?

The server supports up to 3TB of DDR4 across its 24 DIMM slots, so 512GB installed today leaves room for more.

What heat and power load should I expect from the two 750 W platinum supplies running continuously?

Dual 750 W platinum units provide redundant hot-swap power; each supply draws only what the components need, keeping heat proportional to actual workload.

Which drive trays and controller are included so I know what drives to buy?

Twelve 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays and a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller are fitted, ready for your choice of SAS or SATA hard drives.
