Storage-focused 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for high-density storage workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages twenty-four 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives in the front bays. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the package.

Ideal for capacity-heavy tasks

This configuration suits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure farms and service-provider platforms that need massive local capacity with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Organisations that prioritise low-latency all-flash performance or require more than two processor sockets will not find those capabilities here.

Twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives

The single specification that decides fit is the installed drive set: twenty-four 2.4 TB 10 K SAS disks delivering high sequential throughput and large aggregate capacity. If the workload demands solid-state latency or a different drive count, this server does not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own DDR4 memory modules to reach the 3TB maximum?

No — 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is already installed across 24 slots, leaving room for additional modules up to the 3TB limit.

Will the existing 10K SAS drives work with the PERC H730P controller in pass-through mode for ZFS?

Yes, the H730P supports pass-through so the 24 installed 2.4TB SAS drives can be presented directly to the operating system.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon 8160 processors are both active after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS; both will show two 24-core CPUs running at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo.
