2U 12-bay 3.5" storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a two-socket 2U rack server built for capacity-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages twelve 8 TB 7.2 K SATA hard drives in the front 3.5-inch bays.

Ideal for software-defined storage and VDI

This configuration suits organisations deploying software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity and redundant power matter. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible networking. Buyers who need all-flash performance or a higher drive count in the same height should evaluate alternative chassis.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P handles SAS and SATA drives at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through mode. Its onboard battery protects cached writes during power loss. Confirm that your workload can operate within the SATA 6 Gb/s interface of the supplied 8 TB drives before ordering.
