Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives fill every bay, and dual 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Ideal for capacity-focused workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high drive density and hardware RAID flexibility in a compact 2U form factor. The 24-bay layout supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, making it a fit for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider environments. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require drive interfaces other than SAS and SATA should consider alternative platforms.

Twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives decide fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the complement of twenty-four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind the H730P controller. If the workload demands that exact raw capacity and spindle speed in a 2U chassis, this server matches the requirement; if the project needs fewer bays, solid-state media or a different drive count, another system will be a better match.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and rail kit does the 2U R740xd require?

The server is a 2U rack-mount unit and ships with Ready Rails for standard four-post cabinets.

How are the 24 × 2.4 TB SAS drives installed, and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 2.5" hot-swap bays; the PERC H730P controller must be configured with a RAID virtual disk before the OS sees any volume.

Which components will need replacement first in this configuration?

The 24 × 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and the H730P controller battery are the primary field-replaceable parts that wear over time.
