PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo, 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz ECC memory across eight modules, and twelve 6 TB 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, while an Intel X520/I350 card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies are included.

Ideal for dense capacity

This configuration suits teams that need high raw capacity in a compact 2U form factor, such as software-defined storage clusters, backup targets or VDI host nodes. The twelve 3.5-inch bays are populated with 7.2K SATA drives, so the system is not designed for all-flash performance or low-latency transactional databases. Buyers who require solid-state speed or a larger drive count should consider other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether a battery-backed write cache is present. This unit includes the H730P with 2 GB of cache and a battery, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. If your deployment needs a different RAID feature set or an HBA-only controller, this server will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R740xd provide for storage expansion?

The chassis includes 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays, all populated with 6 TB enterprise SATA drives behind the PERC H730P controller.

What is the thermal design power of each Xeon Gold 6134 and how many power supplies are fitted?

Each processor runs at a 3.2 GHz base frequency with a 3.7 GHz turbo, and the system ships with two redundant 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies.

Which memory specification must match the installed 2666 MHz registered ECC modules?

The server uses DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs; any additional memory must be the same type and speed to maintain compatibility.
