Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, currently populated with two 800 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits virtualisation and software-defined storage

This platform suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage or service-provider environments that need high drive density in a 2U form factor. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require more than two processors, GPU acceleration or a different drive protocol should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730P

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch drive chassis paired with the PERC H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available for your storage architecture.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 128GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 128GB across 8 slots, leaving 16 slots free to reach the 3TB maximum.

What does the 2.1GHz Xeon Gold 6130 speed deliver in practice?

Each of the two 16-core processors runs at 2.1GHz base with 3.7GHz turbo for burst performance.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the 800GB SSDs?

The H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so the SATA SSDs operate at their 6Gb/s link speed.
