Configuration summary

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6140 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It provides twelve 3.5-inch drive bays wired to a PERC H730P RAID controller and includes dual 1100 W power supplies with iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Who this suits and who it does not

This platform suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch storage capacity with dual-socket compute in a standard rack footprint. It does not suit buyers who need more than twelve drive bays, who require a different drive form factor, or who need GPU acceleration beyond the integrated graphics.

Deciding specification

The twelve 3.5-inch bays and the PERC H730P controller define the storage ceiling; verify that the bay count and RAID engine match your capacity and redundancy plan before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis or a smaller drive configuration?

The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis provides room for up to twelve SATA hard drives, which is the maximum this R740xd model supports.

What does the 2.3 GHz figure mean for actual workload performance?

Two Xeon Gold 6140 processors each run at 2.3 GHz with 18 cores, giving 36 cores total for multi-threaded applications and virtualisation.

How does the PERC H730P controller affect the SATA drive interface?

The PERC H730P manages the twelve SATA bays in hardware RAID, presenting logical volumes to the operating system instead of individual drives.
