12-bay 3.5" rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA storage arrays.

Suits storage-focused deployments

This configuration fits organisations that need high drive-count capacity in a standard rack footprint with dual-socket compute and integrated remote management via iDRAC9 Enterprise. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration, or drive interfaces beyond SATA should evaluate other platforms, as this unit is limited to dual Xeon Bronze CPUs and integrated graphics.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis, which sets the maximum number of SATA hard drives or SSDs the server can hold. With no drives installed, the PERC H730P controller and backplane are ready for the exact capacity and RAID level the workload demands.

Questions about this item

What does the PERC H730P RAID controller cap the SATA interface at in practice?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the SATA interface at up to 12 Gbps per port, providing hardware RAID acceleration for the 12 drive bays.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis need to fit in a standard rack?

The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 lb; it requires a 2U rack opening and the optional rail kit for secure mounting.

How is the PERC H730P controller installed, and what step is often missed?

The controller comes pre-installed in the dedicated PCIe slot; the step often missed is importing the foreign configuration when replacing drives so the RAID volume appears.
