Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 drive bays and dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors into a 2U rack chassis. With 768GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller it is built for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure. Redundant 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management complete the platform.

Suits storage-first deployments

Organisations that need maximum internal drive density in a 2U form factor will benefit from the 24-bay layout and hardware RAID support. The dual 12-core CPUs at 2.3 GHz provide steady multi-thread throughput for virtualisation hosts. Buyers who require GPU compute density, higher single-thread clock speeds or PCIe Gen4 connectivity should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane

The chassis accepts 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SATA SSDs, currently populated with 400 GB enterprise drives. This backplane design fixes the storage interface and physical capacity limit for the system. Verify that your dataset fits within this bay count and SATA throughput before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the R740xd ship with all 24 drive bays populated, or do I need to buy additional 2.5" SSDs?

The unit arrives with 24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs already installed, filling every 2.5" bay. No extra drives are required unless you want more capacity.

Should I choose the 768 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to add modules later up to the 3 TB maximum?

The server includes 24 x 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC DIMMs, occupying all 24 slots. To exceed 768 GB you must replace existing modules with higher-capacity DDR4 sticks.

What throughput can the PERC H730P controller deliver to the 24 x 400 GB SSDs in a RAID 10 array?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 10 across all 24 drives for high read/write IOPS and data protection.
