2U Rack Server with 24-Bay Storage

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, and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730P controller manages the 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs across the front-accessible drive bays.

Suited for Storage-Focused Deployments

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure, and service-provider environments that prioritise internal capacity. Buyers needing more than 24 drive bays, higher per-drive capacity, or a different controller feature set should evaluate other platforms. The fixed 2U height and dual-processor limit also constrain expansion beyond the installed specification.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA Drive Capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs. This density determines whether the server matches a given storage footprint or IOPS requirement. The PERC H730P supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through, so the drive count and interface directly shape the available array configurations.

Questions about this item

How often will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a 2GB cache battery that typically lasts three to five years; replace it when iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a degraded state to keep write-back caching active.

Which component hits its limit first during sustained all-core workloads on the dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs?

The 1100W platinum power supplies set the sustained ceiling; each Gold 6130 can draw up to its rated TDP under full turbo, so total system power stays within the redundant PSU capacity.

What noise and heat levels should I expect when the server runs 24/7 with all 24 drive bays populated?

Redundant 1100W platinum PSUs and hot-swap fans keep inlet temperatures within ASHRAE A2 limits; acoustic output is typical for a 2U density-optimised rack server under continuous load.
