High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz provide 16 total cores. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across four slots. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Suits dense storage; not for GPU or 1U needs

This platform fits software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis maximises capacity in two rack units. Buyers who require GPU compute density, all-flash arrays or a 1U footprint should evaluate other platforms. Memory scales to 3 TB across 24 slots for future growth.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis decides fit

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays backed by a 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller. If the workload demands that many spinning drives in 2U, this server matches the requirement. If fewer bays or a different form factor are needed, a different chassis is appropriate.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SAS bays accept the 600 GB 10K drives I already own?

Yes, the 24 front bays take 2.5" SAS drives and the PERC H730P controller supports SAS at 12 Gb/s, so existing 600 GB 10K disks will work.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs are running at 3.2 GHz with turbo to 3.7 GHz after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS POST screen; both report each processor's base and turbo frequencies in real time.

Which items ship with the server and what must I purchase separately?

The unit includes 2× Xeon Gold 6134, 64 GB DDR4 (4× 16 GB), H730P with battery, 24× 600 GB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2× 1100 W PSUs, rails and bezel. Extra memory or drives are optional.
