Storage-Dense 2U Platform

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high internal storage capacity. Two Xeon Gold 6134 processors provide sixteen cores at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, suited to virtualisation hosts and software-defined storage clusters. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules leaves twenty free slots for expansion. Twenty-four 2.4 TB SAS drives deliver nearly fifty-eight terabytes of raw capacity in a single chassis.

SAS Controller And Network Limits

The PERC H730P controller operates at 12 Gb/s over SAS and SATA, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache backed by battery. All twenty-four drive bays share this single controller, so aggregate throughput is bounded by its 12 Gb/s link and the PCIe lane budget of the C620 chipset. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 10 Gb SFP+ ports and two 1 GbE ports, capping east-west traffic at ten gigabits per second per SFP+ link without additional NICs.

Capacity Headroom And Constraints

Sixty-four gigabytes of installed memory handles moderate consolidation; the board supports up to three terabytes across twenty-four slots when larger modules are sourced. Twenty-four 2.4 TB drives fill every bay, so growth beyond fifty-eight terabytes raw requires external enclosures or a different chassis. Dual 1100 W platinum supplies run redundant at full load, leaving no headroom for power-hungry add-in cards beyond the existing daughter card slot.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 24-bay 2.5" configuration and other bay counts?

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5" model; the spec sheet lists exactly 24 drive bays and no other bay-count option for this listing.

What does the 3.2 GHz base clock mean once the server is running workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 6134 runs at 3.2 GHz base and can turbo to 3.7 GHz across its 8 cores, giving 16 cores total at those speeds.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730P 2GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA and RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through.
