Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Xeon Silver 4215R processors running at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The 24 SFF drive bays accept 2.5-inch SAS drives and the chassis includes dual 1100 W power supplies.
Suits dense storage workloads; not for GPU compute
This configuration suits deployments that need many drive bays in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage or backup targets. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe accelerator support mean it will not serve GPU compute, VDI graphics or rendering workloads. Buyers who need high single-thread frequency or large memory capacity per socket should evaluate other platforms.
24 SFF SAS drive bays with PERC H730P
The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the PERC H730P controller. It determines how many drives you can install, which RAID levels are available and whether your existing SAS drives are compatible. Confirm your storage layout matches this bay count and controller before purchase.

Questions about this item
What does the 3.2 GHz clock speed mean when the server is running a full workload?
Each Xeon Silver 4215R runs at 3.2 GHz base frequency with eight cores, and the system includes two such processors for multi-threaded applications.
What does the PERC H730P controller limit when using SAS drives in the 24-bay chassis?
The PERC H730P manages up to 24 SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays and provides hardware RAID with 2 GB cache for array performance.
What physical space and mounting hardware are required to install this 2U rack server?
The chassis measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 units; rail kits are available on request for standard rack mounting.
