PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Server
This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for high-density storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors running at 2.2GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller for SATA media. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise license.
Suited for storage-heavy clusters
Organisations needing a platform for software-defined storage, large databases or backup repositories will benefit from the 24-bay density and dual-processor throughput. The integrated 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter provides high-speed network connectivity out of the box. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate other platforms, as this unit relies on integrated graphics and the supplied Ethernet interfaces.
24-bay 2.5-inch SATA chassis
The single specification that determines fit is the 24-drive 2.5-inch bay count paired with a SATA-only PERC H730P controller. This combination fixes the storage protocol and physical media type for the deployment. Confirm that your capacity and performance targets align with SATA SSD or HDD media before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the dual 1100W power supply setup produce during continuous operation?
The system includes two 1100W power supplies; actual heat output depends on workload and ambient conditions.
What drive caddies and cables are required to populate the 24 front 2.5-inch bays?
The 24SFF chassis accepts 2.5-inch SATA drives; Dell drive carriers and backplane cables are needed for each bay.
Will the PERC H730P controller manage existing SATA SSD arrays from an older PowerEdge?
The PERC H730P supports SATA RAID; imported arrays must match its firmware and metadata format to be recognised.
