Purpose-built density

The PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits two Xeon Gold 6134 processors and 24 drive bays into a single chassis. It targets software-defined storage clusters, service-provider platforms and virtual desktop infrastructure where capacity and compute must share the same footprint.

SATA throughput ceiling

Twenty-four 800GB SSDs connect through a PERC H730P controller limited to the SATA 6Gb/s interface. The 12Gb/s SAS backplane cannot accelerate SATA media, so sustained sequential throughput tops out at the SATA link rate rather than the controller’s native speed.

Twenty-four bay maximum

The chassis accepts exactly 24 2.5-inch drives and cannot be expanded further. Buyers who need more raw capacity must add another node instead of populating additional slots in this unit.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5-inch version or a different chassis?

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch 2U chassis with 24 installed 800GB SATA SSDs and two Xeon Gold 6134 processors; other bay counts or drive sizes are separate configurations.

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

Each Xeon Gold 6134 runs at 3.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz, giving 16 total cores across two sockets for virtualization or storage workloads.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, capping each SSD at the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed.
