Dense storage server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs and dual 1100 W redundant power supplies are included.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads, not GPU compute

This platform targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that need high drive density in a compact chassis. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management. Buyers requiring PCIe GPU expansion or more than two sockets should evaluate alternative form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

The defining constraint is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front layout paired with the H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. That combination sets the maximum number of hot-swap drives and the RAID levels available without adding external enclosures. Confirm the bay count and controller match your storage design before ordering.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum number of processors this R740xd can support?

The system supports up to two processors and both sockets are already populated with Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs.

How much power does each redundant supply deliver and what efficiency rating do they carry?

Two hot-swap 1100 Watt Platinum-rated power supplies provide redundant power for continuous operation.

Which memory type and speed must I already have on hand to expand the 768 GB installed?

Expansion requires DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules; the server has 24 slots and a 3 TB maximum capacity.
