Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz provide sixteen cores in total. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across eight modules. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives are fitted. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking and rails are included.

Suits storage-first workloads

This platform suits software-defined storage, backup repositories, archival workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity and drive count matter most. The twelve-bay chassis and hardware RAID controller simplify large volume management. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU-accelerated compute, or higher single-thread frequency should evaluate other platforms because the installed 7.2K SATA drives and Silver-class processors prioritise capacity over speed.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays decide fit

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays backed by a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller. That bay count and controller combination sets the maximum number of mechanical drives and the RAID levels available without adding external enclosures. If the workload requires more than twelve internal drives or a different controller feature set, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 750 W power supplies hit their limit before the CPUs throttle under sustained full load?

The server ships with redundant 750 W Platinum power supplies designed to handle the dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors and twelve 6 TB drives at full load.

How loud are the fans and how hot does the chassis get when the system runs 24/7?

The 2U rack chassis uses temperature-controlled fans that ramp up under heavy compute or storage workloads; expect noticeable airflow noise in a quiet office but typical data-centre levels in a server room.

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ modules for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 card?

Yes, the quad-port daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports that require compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables to establish a link.
