Purpose-built storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-intensive workloads such as software-defined storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. It ships with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated by 6 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives. Dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide twenty-four total cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across twenty-four slots.

Sustained-load behaviour

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for continuous data protection during heavy I/O. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies maintain uptime if one unit fails. The Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets deliver stable throughput for multi-threaded applications. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without interrupting running services.

Pre-order checks

Verify that your rack provides 2U of space and compatible mounting rails for the included ready rails. Confirm the facility can supply dual power circuits for the redundant power supplies. Ensure network infrastructure supports the quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Plan for SATA cabling and backplane compatibility with the twelve installed drives.
