Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages up to 24 SAS or SATA drives in the 2.5-inch bays.

Virtualisation and Software-Defined Storage Targets

This configuration suits teams deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage clusters or general virtualisation where internal drive count matters. The dual 10 GbE SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports plus iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify fabric and remote management. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU acceleration, or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P RAID controller. It defines how many drives you can install, which RAID levels are available and whether your existing SAS or SATA media will connect directly.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740xd provide for storage expansion?

The chassis includes 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays, supporting SAS or SATA drives behind the PERC H730P controller.

What is the typical power draw of the dual 1100 W platinum supplies under full load?

Each supply is rated at 1100 watts platinum efficiency; the redundant pair shares load to keep heat and fan noise lower during sustained operation.

Which memory specification must match the installed 768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules?

Additional modules must be DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC RDIMMs to maintain compatibility with the 24-slot configuration.
