Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for capacity-heavy workloads. It carries twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB SATA hard drives spinning at 7.2 K RPM. Dual Xeon Gold 6148 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The platform targets software-defined storage, service-provider infrastructure and virtual desktop deployments.

Fits density-first buyers.

This system suits teams that need raw terabytes in a compact chassis and can work with spinning-media latency. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Buyers who require the low latency and high IOPS of solid-state arrays should evaluate alternative configurations. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays set the storage ceiling

The chassis fits exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives and no more. Each installed drive is a 4 TB enterprise unit, giving 48 TB raw before RAID overhead. The H730P controller manages the array through a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface with a 2 GB cache backed by a battery. Expansion beyond twelve spindles demands a different platform.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply any drives for the 12 front 3.5-inch bays?

No, twelve 4TB 7.2K SATA enterprise hard drives are already installed.

Will the dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors fit in a motherboard limited to a single CPU?

This system includes both processors and the board supports the maximum of two sockets.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all twelve drives after power-on?

During POST the controller BIOS lists each detected drive, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise shows the full array status.
