2U Dual-Socket Storage Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 1100 W power supplies come installed.

Virtualisation Hosts and Software-Defined Storage

This server suits teams deploying virtual desktop infrastructure or software-defined storage clusters where drive count matters. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and hardware RAID support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers needing GPU compute density or fibre-channel connectivity will not find those interfaces here.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller. It determines how many spinning drives or SATA SSDs you can address and which RAID levels are available. Confirm your caddies, backplane revision and drive carrier compatibility before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P 2 GB controller become the throughput bottleneck before the 24 drive bays fill up?

The PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so the controller scales across all 24 bays.

How much acoustic and thermal output should I expect from the dual 1100 W platinum supplies running continuously?

Redundant 1100 W platinum supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds lower than single-supply operation and limiting sustained heat to what the 2U chassis can exhaust.

Which SFP+ modules and cabling do I need to use the on-board 10 GbE ports immediately?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card presents two 10 Gb SFP+ ports; you must supply compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables.
