2U rack server with 24 SAS bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and twenty-four 1.2 TB SAS hard drives. A PERC H730P controller provides hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 1100 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits dense storage workloads.

This platform targets software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where high spindle count and 12 Gb/s SAS throughput matter. The four-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. Buyers who need solid-state speed or a different drive protocol should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5" chassis limits drive choice

The server holds twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives in a fixed 2U form factor, so the bay count and drive interface are the deciding specifications. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across twenty-four DDR4 slots, and the Intel C620 chipset supports up to two processors.

Questions about this item

When will the 1.2 TB SAS drives or PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and the H730P 2 GB controller battery are field-replaceable; drive rebuilds use hot-swap bays and the battery can be swapped without tools.

Which resource saturates first when all 16 cores run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors share the Intel C620 chipset and 2666 MHz DDR4 memory bandwidth, so sustained all-core turbo is limited by memory throughput and shared cache.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with dual 1100 W platinum PSUs and 24 drives spinning 24/7?

Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and 2U forced-air cooling keep inlet temperatures within spec; fan speed ramps with CPU and drive load but stays within data-centre acoustic limits.
