Storage-Dense 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller manages the 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays populated with two 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suits Virtualisation and Software-Defined Storage

This configuration fits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage clusters or general-purpose virtualisation hosts. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise support continuous remote management. Buyers who require more than two sockets, GPU acceleration or larger installed flash capacity should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Decides Fit

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines whether the server matches your storage-scaling requirements. Confirm rack depth and rail clearance before ordering.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the PERC H730P controller support for the installed 800GB SSDs?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so the 800GB SATA SSDs run at up to 6Gb/s SATA speed.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the R740xd require?

The server is a 2U rack chassis and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for rack installation.

How is the PERC H730P controller installed, and what step is often missed?

The H730P installs in a dedicated internal slot; the battery module must be connected and seated for RAID write-back caching to work.
