Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7GHz with eight cores each. It arrives with 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports SATA hard drives, though no drives are included in this configuration.
Suited for high-capacity storage workloads
This server suits organisations that need dense, local storage capacity in a standard rack footprint for backup, archiving or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who need all-flash performance or a different drive protocol should look elsewhere, as the backplane is SATA-only and no solid-state drives are included. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 1100W power supplies provide redundancy.
12 x 3.5-inch SATA drive bays
The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays connected to the PERC H730P controller over a SATA interface. This bay count and interface determine how much raw capacity you can install and what drive types are compatible. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across the available DIMM slots when expansion is required.

Questions about this item
How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the 12LFF chassis provide for my storage layout?
The 12LFF chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch bays, and the PERC H730P controller manages the SATA drives you install in them.
What does the 1.7 GHz clock on the dual Xeon Bronze 3106 CPUs mean for real-world throughput?
Two eight-core Xeon Bronze 3106 processors at 1.7 GHz deliver sixteen threads for parallel workloads such as virtualisation or database serving.
What does the PERC H730P RAID controller cap in practice?
The PERC H730P handles hardware RAID across the twelve SATA bays and provides the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote-management interface.
