Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays for flexible capacity scaling.
24 x 2.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730P RAID
The single specification that decides fit is the twenty-four-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller. This combination delivers high-density local storage and hardware RAID for databases, virtualisation hosts or backup targets. No drives are installed, so you populate the bays to match the exact capacity and endurance you need.
Dual 1100W supplies with iDRAC9 Enterprise
Two redundant 1100W power supplies share the load, keeping the system running if one unit fails. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring, remote console and firmware updates without touching the host OS. Thermal design moves air front-to-back through the 24-bay chassis to maintain stable temperatures under sustained compute and storage activity.

Questions about this item
What does the 2.7 GHz clock speed of the two Xeon Gold 6226 processors deliver in a live workload?
Each Gold 6226 runs at 2.7 GHz with 12 cores, giving 24 cores total for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases or container clusters.
How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit drive performance?
The H730P manages RAID across the 24 bays using SATA links, so throughput is capped by the SATA bus rather than by the controller itself.
What rack space and mounting hardware does the 24 SFF chassis require?
The 2U chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 in and weighs 40 lb; a compatible rail kit is available on request for standard 19-inch racks.
