Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Storage Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller.
Suits buyers needing high local capacity
The twelve-bay layout fits archival, backup or media-library roles where drive count matters more than raw compute density. Buyers who want a smaller footprint or fewer drive slots should look at a different chassis.
Twelve 3.5-inch bays with PERC H730P RAID
The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the H730P controller. It determines how many SATA drives you can install and which RAID levels are supported.

Questions about this item
Which drives must I supply for the 12 x 3.5-inch bays?
The chassis accepts 12 large-form-factor SATA drives; no drives are included so you provide the capacity and speed you need.
Can the PERC H730P RAID controller manage existing SATA disks from an older array?
Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives and can import or rebuild arrays from compatible disks you keep.
How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?
Open a browser to the iDRAC IP shown on the front LCD; the dashboard will display the Enterprise licence status and firmware version.
