PowerEdge R740xd 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller with battery backup. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives provide raw capacity for software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure.

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 with 768 GB DDR4

This server suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory footprints in a compact 2U form factor. The 32 total cores and 768 GB of DDR4 support dense virtualisation, database caching and storage-centric applications. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, single-thread performance beyond the 3.7 GHz turbo, or drive interfaces other than SAS and SATA should consider alternative platforms. The installed PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS drive configuration

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives and a 12 Gb/s H730P controller. This layout delivers high spindle count and hardware RAID flexibility for workloads that prioritise storage throughput and redundancy over raw capacity per drive. Network connectivity uses a quad-port Intel X520/I350 daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ ports, while dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the management and redundancy package.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or must I add drives separately?

All 24 bays come filled with 600GB 10K SAS drives; no additional drives are required for the listed configuration.

Should I choose the 768GB memory option or plan to expand toward the 3TB maximum?

The system includes 768GB across 24 slots using 32GB DDR4 2666MHz modules; all slots are occupied, so any increase means replacing modules.

What throughput can I expect from the H730P controller with the installed 600GB SAS drives?

The PERC H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS connectivity and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; actual throughput depends on the RAID level and workload.
