Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd rack server ships with one Intel Xeon 5118 processor running at 2.3 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports up to 12 SATA drives and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full remote management. It is built for density-focused storage workloads in a 2U form factor.

Suits storage-heavy deployments

The single-socket design and 12 large-form-factor bays make this platform a fit for backup repositories, software-defined storage nodes or archive workloads that prioritise capacity over raw compute density. Buyers who need dual-processor performance from day one or workloads that require GPU acceleration should evaluate a different configuration. The 10 GbE two-port adapter is included for high-throughput network connectivity.

12-bay 3.5-inch SATA chassis

The defining specification is the 12-drive 3.5-inch backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller, which determines how many spinning disks or SATA SSDs you can install internally. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots when both CPU sockets are populated. Drive selection and any additional networking or GPU cards must be sourced separately to complete the build.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5" chassis or a smaller 2.5" option for this PowerEdge R740xd?

This unit ships in the 12-bay 3.5" LFF chassis, giving you up to twelve large-form-factor drive slots; a 2.5" variant is not part of this listing.

What does the 2.3 GHz Xeon 5118 actually deliver in this server?

The single installed Xeon 5118 Gold runs at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores and 16.5 MB cache, providing the compute base; a second socket is empty for future expansion.

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

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the twelve SATA bays, handling RAID levels and drive communication; drive performance will not exceed the SATA interface ceiling.
