Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 drive bays into a 2U rack frame. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need high drive density. Buyers who require solid-state media or more than 24 bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The chassis holds 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives, delivering raw capacity and throughput for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays. Match the bay count and SAS interface to your storage design before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100 watt PSUs draw when the 24 drives and both Xeon 8160 CPUs run continuously?

The system includes redundant 1100 watt platinum efficiency power supplies designed for continuous operation with all drives and both processors installed.

Which cables or drive trays are required to install the 24 SAS drives into the 2.5 inch bays?

The server ships with 24 enterprise 1.2TB 10K SAS drives already installed in the 24 bay 2.5 inch chassis.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise older 6 Gb/s SAS drives if I add them later?

The PERC H730P 12 Gb/s controller supports SAS and SATA drives and includes RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes.
