Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for high-capacity storage workloads. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 4TB 7.2K SATA hard drives. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide twenty-four total cores at 2.1GHz with 3.0GHz turbo capability. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen modules.

Suited for Archive Workloads

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity matters most. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2GB cache and battery backup. Buyers who need solid-state performance or accelerator cards should look elsewhere because the chassis and controller are built around SATA hard drives.

Storage Controller Decides Fit

The PERC H730P 2GB SAS/SATA controller determines which drive types can be used and which RAID levels are available. It connects to the twelve drive bays through a 12Gb/s SAS backplane. Verify that your workload matches the controller's SATA hard drive focus and the twelve-bay 3.5-inch form factor before purchasing.
