Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller but without any drives installed. The platform includes an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter for remote management and high-speed networking.

Suits storage-dense workloads.

This configuration fits organisations that need large-capacity SATA storage in a compact rack footprint, such as backup repositories, video surveillance archives or software-defined storage clusters. The chassis only accepts 3.5-inch drives, so buyers who require 2.5-inch bays or direct-attached GPU acceleration should look at a different chassis design.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays with SATA and PERC H730P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which manages SATA drives in hardware RAID. If the deployment needs more than twelve large-form-factor drives or a different drive interface, this server will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R740xd get when both Xeon Gold 6226 CPUs run at 2.7GHz all day?

The chassis holds two 1100W power supplies and 12 drive bays; sustained full-load operation will push significant heat into the rack aisle, so provision adequate CRAC airflow and expect server-grade fan noise.

What else must I already own for this 12-bay 3.5" server to function?

You need 3.5" SATA drives for the 12 front bays, DDR4 ECC registered modules to reach the 64GB installed or the 3TB maximum, and rack rails for the 36 x 24 x 10 in form factor.

Will my existing SATA drives and DDR4 memory work with the PERC H730P and Xeon Gold 6226 processors?

The PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives and the CPUs use DDR4 ECC registered memory, so compatible 3.5" SATA drives and DDR4 ECC modules will operate correctly.
