Built for storage-dense workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server configured with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz, each with eight cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. Twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs fill every 2.5-inch bay, delivering high-capacity flash storage in a compact form factor.

Fits a standard rack and scales internally

The 2U chassis occupies minimal rack height while supporting up to two processors and 24 DIMM slots for a maximum of 3 TB of memory. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the SATA and SAS drives through RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections are pre-installed. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management.

Sustained throughput for mixed read-write streams

The all-SSD array and hardware RAID controller maintain consistent IOPS under continuous database or virtualisation workloads. Redundant power supplies and ECC memory protect data integrity during extended operations. The platform suits software-defined storage clusters, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where storage density and uptime matter more than single-thread burst speed.

Questions about this item

Will the 1100 W redundant PSUs handle full CPU and 24 SSD load continuously?

Two hot-swap 1100 W Platinum supplies share the load so the server keeps running even if one unit fails.

How loud are the fans when the R740xd runs 24/7 at full tilt?

Dual-rotor fans ramp with inlet temperature; idle is quiet but sustained 100 % CPU and 24 drives pushes airflow to maximum.

Which SFP+ modules and cables do I need for the X520 10 GbE ports?

The daughter card has two SFP+ cages — buy 10 Gb SFP+ SR, LR or direct-attach copper cables separately.
