DELL PowerEdge R740xd 2U server

The DELL PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores each. Memory is 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup.

Suits software-defined storage

This configuration fits service providers and IT teams that need high drive counts in a compact 2U form factor. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric design. iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives full remote management. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap components support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays or require GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Its 2 GB cache and battery protect in-flight data during power loss. This single component determines whether the array can sustain write-heavy workloads and survive unexpected shutdowns.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1.2TB SAS drives or consider a different capacity for this R740xd?

This unit ships with 24× 1.2TB 10K SAS drives installed. The 2.5" bays and H730P controller support other SAS or SATA capacities, but no other sizes are included.

What does the 3.2GHz Xeon Gold 6134 rating mean once the server is running?

Two Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.2GHz base and can reach 3.7GHz turbo on all 8 cores each, giving 16 cores total for virtualisation, databases or software-defined storage.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface on the H730P cap in practice?

The PERC H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS connectivity to the 24 drive bays and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with its 2GB cache battery.
