2U Rack Server with 24 SAS Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. The PERC H730P controller manages 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives.

Suits software-defined storage

This configuration targets environments that need high drive count and redundant power in a compact chassis. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links supports clustered storage traffic. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle management. Buyers who need flash-only arrays or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P RAID controller. It determines how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available. Memory can scale to 3 TB across the remaining eight DIMM slots. Network and compute are fixed by the installed daughter card and dual-socket limit.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell Perc H730P 2GB controller in this server support my existing SATA SSDs alongside the installed 1.2TB SAS drives?

Yes, the H730P 2GB 12Gb/s controller handles both SAS and SATA drives, so your SATA SSDs can share the 24-bay backplane with the 1.2TB 10K SAS disks.

Will my current DDR4 2666MHz Registered ECC modules work with the 512GB already installed in the 24 memory slots?

The system already fills all 24 slots with 16x 32GB DDR4 2666MHz Registered ECC modules, so no additional memory can be added without removing existing sticks.

How can I verify the 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core processors and 24x 1.2TB SAS drives are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the PERC H730P BIOS during POST; both will list the two 16-core CPUs at 2.1GHz and all twenty-four 1.2TB SAS drives.
