Rack server for dense storage workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5" drive bays in a 2U form factor. Two Xeon 5118 processors deliver twenty-four cores at 2.3GHz with 16.5MB cache each. The system ships with 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No drives are installed, allowing custom storage configurations.

Storage-focused buyers versus compute-focused buyers

The twelve-bay layout suits teams building large-capacity arrays for backup, archive or media repositories. Buyers who need more processor cores per socket or higher single-thread frequency should evaluate other platforms. Workloads that require GPU acceleration will not benefit from the integrated graphics.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed H730P manages the SATA drives in the twelve 3.5" bays and provides hardware RAID levels for data protection. It is the component that determines which drive configurations and redundancy schemes are available.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12-drive-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller bay count for the R740xd?

The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports up to twelve large-capacity SATA drives, ideal for bulk storage workloads; a smaller bay count would limit total raw capacity.

What does the 2.3 GHz Xeon 5118 speed deliver in this dual-socket server?

Two Xeon 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz provide twenty-four cores total, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization and database tasks.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface affect drive performance?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives with hardware RAID acceleration, capping each drive at the SATA interface maximum while offloading parity calculations from the CPUs.
