2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, 512 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs fill every front bay.

Suited for Storage-First Deployments

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure hosts and service-provider platforms that prioritise internal capacity over GPU or FPGA expansion. Buyers who need PCIe add-in cards beyond the included quad-port 10 GbE daughter card should look at a different chassis.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Front Backplane

The defining spec is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front backplane that holds the installed SATA SSDs and connects to the H730P controller. It sets the hard limit on how many drives the system can address without external enclosures.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays populated or do I need to buy additional SSDs?

The unit includes 24 x 400GB SATA SSDs already installed, filling every 2.5-inch bay; no extra drives are required for full capacity.

Which memory configuration matches the 512GB total — how many modules and what speed?

512GB is provided as 16 x 32GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC DIMMs, leaving 8 of the 24 slots free for future expansion.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730P controller handle with the 24 SSDs installed?

The H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, so any standard redundancy or striping scheme across the 24 drives is available.
