PowerEdge R740xd 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages SAS and SATA drives across 24 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for software-defined storage

This platform fits service providers and VDI deployments that prioritise internal drive capacity in a 2U form factor. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports supports high-throughput east-west traffic. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management. Redundant 1100 W platinum supplies and hot-swap components maintain uptime during maintenance.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA chassis decides fit

The 24 front-accessible bays connect to the H730P controller through 12 Gb/s SAS lanes, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives ship installed. Builders needing more than 24 internal drives or a different drive form factor must choose another chassis.
