Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing twelve 6 TB SATA hard drives. Redundant 750 W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port networking complete the package for storage-heavy workloads.

Suits storage-centric deployments

This platform fits software-defined storage clusters, backup repositories and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity and drive count matter more than all-flash speed. The twelve 3.5-inch bays and hardware RAID support make it straightforward to present large volumes. Buyers who need solid-state media, more than two processor sockets or a smaller chassis should consider other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch SATA drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the H730P controller. It determines how many spinning drives you can install and which RAID levels are available. If your design requires a different bay count, 2.5-inch form factor or a controller without battery-backed cache, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock and 3.7 GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Two Xeon Gold 6130 processors run at 2.1 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo across 16 cores each, giving 32 total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P 2 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the twelve 6 TB SATA drives are capped at the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed.

What rack space and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis need?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard four-post cabinet installation.
