Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors with 24 cores each at 2.1GHz into a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16GB modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. Two 800GB SATA SSDs and quad-port networking with 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ are included.

Suits scale-out storage and virtualization

This platform fits software-defined storage clusters, service-provider workloads and VDI deployments that benefit from 24 front-access 2.5-inch bays and redundant 1100W power supplies. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Buyers who need more than two sockets or larger memory capacity per node should consider alternative form factors.

24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis provides 24 SATA/SAS slots behind the front bezel, letting you populate high-capacity drives or additional flash without expanding to another rack unit. This bay count is the primary constraint for capacity planning in dense storage arrays.
