12-bay R740xd with dual Xeon Bronze 3104

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors running at 1.7GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without hard drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller, dual 1100W power supplies and a 10GbE 562T network adapter.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets buyers who need twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for large-capacity SATA arrays and the remote-management features of iDRAC9 Enterprise. It is not for deployments that require GPU acceleration, more than two sockets, or memory beyond the 3TB platform limit.

Dual Bronze 3104 CPUs at 1.7GHz

The installed processors provide twelve total cores with 8.25MB cache each, setting the baseline compute capacity for the chassis. Firmware is updated to the latest stable release before dispatch.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller drive-count version for maximum local storage?

The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis provides the highest drive density in this R740xd line, letting you install up to twelve large-capacity SATA drives for bulk data workloads.

What does the 1.7 GHz clock on the dual Xeon Bronze 3104 CPUs deliver in actual use?

Two six-core Bronze 3104 processors at 1.7 GHz give twelve threads total, suited for multi-threaded server tasks such as virtualization hosts, file services, or database nodes that favour core count over single-thread speed.

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

The H730P RAID controller manages the twelve SATA bays; SATA’s 6 Gbit/s ceiling caps each drive’s throughput, so sequential read/write speeds top out at the drive’s own SATA rating rather than a faster bus.
