Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount system designed for environments that need high capacity in a compact form factor. It suits software-defined storage clusters, service-provider workloads and virtual desktop infrastructure deployments. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors provide 16 total cores at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for parallel throughput.

12 Gb/s controller and SATA limits

The PERC H730P RAID controller operates at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. All twelve 3.5-inch bays are populated with 6 TB 7.2K SATA drives, so the storage interface is limited to SATA 6 Gb/s speeds. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Check rack depth and memory plan

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis with sliding rails and that power distribution can supply two 750 W redundant supplies. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules, leaving 20 of 24 slots free for expansion up to 3 TB. Ensure your hypervisor or OS supports the LGA 3647 platform and the C620 chipset.
