Dense 2U Storage Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 front-access 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Bronze 3204 processors at 1.9 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a balanced base for storage-centric workloads. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies complete the core platform.
Storage-First Teams vs Compute-Heavy Buyers
Organisations building capacity-oriented arrays, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters will match the 24-bay density and SATA interface. Buyers who need more than two sockets, higher single-thread frequency, GPU expansion or 3.5-inch drive support should evaluate other platforms.
24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Constraint
The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch front bay count in a 2U form factor. It fixes the maximum raw capacity ceiling and the physical drive interface to SATA, so the configuration only works when that bay count and form factor align with the deployment plan.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the server is operating correctly after installation?
Check that the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface reports both Xeon Bronze 3204 processors at 1.9GHz, all 128GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory detected, and the PERC H730P RAID controller visible with the 10GB 2-port 562T adapter active.
What components are included and what must I source separately?
The chassis includes 2x 1100W power supplies, the PERC H730P RAID controller, 128GB DDR4 ECC RAM, dual Xeon Bronze 3204 CPUs, and the 10GB 2-port 562T network adapter. Drives and rail kit are not installed and must be purchased separately.
Which drive bay configuration suits a 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA deployment?
This 24SFF chassis supports up to 24 2.5-inch SATA drives via the PERC H730P controller. Choose this version when you need maximum bay density in a 2U rack form factor for SATA SSD or HDD arrays.
