12-Bay 3.5" Chassis for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around a twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies are installed, while drive bays remain empty for custom population.

Suits Capacity-First Workloads.

This configuration fits buyers who need maximum drive slots in a 2U form factor for archival, backup or software-defined storage clusters. The Bronze 3204 CPUs provide only six cores each at a low clock speed, so the system is not for buyers who want high single-thread performance, heavy virtualization density or GPU-accelerated compute.

12-Bay 3.5-Inch Limit Decides Fit

The defining constraint is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays paired with the PERC H730P controller; they set the raw capacity ceiling and RAID options available. If the workload demands more bays, 2.5-inch density or a different controller feature set, this chassis cannot meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5 inch drive bays does the R740xd chassis support?

The chassis supports up to 12 drive bays for 3.5 inch drives.

What does the 1.9 GHz clock speed on the two Xeon Bronze 3204 processors mean for actual workloads?

Each processor runs six cores at 1.9 GHz with 8.25 MB cache, giving 12 total cores for parallel tasks.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the SATA drives I can use?

The PERC H730P manages RAID across the SATA interface, so drive performance is bound by the SATA link and the controller's RAID logic.
