2U Dual-Socket Storage Server

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The platform supports up to two processors and uses the Intel C620 chipset.

PERC H730P RAID Controller With Battery

The included Dell PERC H730P controller provides 2 GB of cache backed by a battery and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Twelve 8 TB enterprise SATA hard drives running at 7.2K RPM are pre-installed across the 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections.

128 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The system arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory installed in eight 16 GB modules across 24 total slots. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB. Buyers who need more memory slots populated or a different drive interface will need to reconfigure.

Questions about this item

How often should the PERC H730P controller battery be checked or replaced?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache; Dell recommends checking battery health via iDRAC9 Enterprise annually and replacing the module if the controller reports a degraded or failed status.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs run at 3.2 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 750 W Platinum power supplies set the practical ceiling; continuous dual-CPU turbo can draw enough power to trigger supply throttling before CPU junction temperatures peak.

How loud are the system fans when the 12 x 8 TB 7.2 K drives and both CPUs operate 24/7?

In a typical rack the chassis runs in the mid-50 dB range; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and drive count, so acoustics stay consistent once thermal equilibrium is reached.
