Storage-dense 2U server for scale-out workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with 24 drive bays, dual Xeon Silver 4116 processors and 768GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It targets organisations deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider platforms that need high internal capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Suited for storage-heavy clusters.

This configuration suits teams that prioritise SAS/SATA drive count and dual-socket compute within 2U height. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a purely solid-state architecture or a 1U chassis will not find those capabilities here.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H730P RAID controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel paired with the PERC H730P 2GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the deployment demands more than 24 drives or a different RAID feature set, another platform is required.
