Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 24 small-form-factor drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.
Suits storage-heavy workloads, not GPU compute
This configuration targets buyers who need high drive-count capacity for databases, virtualisation or software-defined storage. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives mean it will not serve workloads requiring discrete GPU acceleration or ready-to-boot storage arrays. Teams needing PCIe add-in cards beyond the RAID controller should verify slot availability before purchase.
24-bay 2.5-inch chassis defines capacity
The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730P controller. It dictates the maximum number of SAS drives you can install and the RAID levels available. If your deployment requires more than 24 drives or a different drive form factor, this chassis cannot meet that need.

Questions about this item
How much power do the two 1100W supplies draw when the 24-bay chassis runs 24/7?
Each supply is rated at 1100W; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install.
Which drive trays and caddies must I already have to populate the 24 x 2.5-inch bays?
The 24SFF chassis accepts standard Dell 2.5-inch SAS drive carriers; drives themselves are not included.
Will the PERC H730P controller recognise my existing SAS HDDs and SSDs?
Yes, the H730P supports SAS drives and presents them to the OS through its RAID firmware.
