Dense 2.5-inch storage server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 small-form-factor bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz and 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC memory deliver high core counts for virtualisation or database workloads. A PERC H730P RAID controller and 10 Gb dual-port networking handle throughput-heavy tasks. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management.
Suits storage-heavy compute nodes
This platform fits teams that need maximum drive density alongside strong multi-threaded performance. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. Organisations needing more than two sockets or memory beyond 3 TB will need a larger chassis. Sites without rack infrastructure cannot deploy this form factor.
24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane
The single specification that determines fit is the 24-drive SAS backplane built for 2.5-inch media. It defines how many drives you can install and which drive interface the controller expects. Match your capacity and SAS drive count to this bay count before ordering.
