Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 populated slots. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages up to 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Virtualisation and software-defined storage

This platform suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage clusters or high-density file serving. The 24-bay chassis and hardware RAID support enable large local datasets. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 2U height also limits deployment in 1U-only racks.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24 front-load 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays with no drives installed. This density decides whether the chassis matches your storage scale. The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Memory can expand to 3 TB using the remaining eight DDR4 slots. Network connectivity includes two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports on a dedicated daughter card.
