Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 300 GB 10K SAS drives fill every front bay, delivering high spindle count in a compact chassis. Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Storage-focused workloads

This configuration suits software-defined storage clusters, backup targets and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count and redundant power matter. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need all-flash performance, higher single-thread speed or a single-socket platform should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The defining specification is the twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives behind a hardware RAID controller with battery-backed cache. This density and spindle count determine whether the system meets your capacity and IOPS requirements before considering memory or CPU upgrades.

Questions about this item

Do I need to populate all 24 DIMM slots to run the installed 64GB DDR4 memory?

The system ships with 64GB as 4x 16GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules, leaving 20 of the 24 slots free for future expansion.

Will my existing 6Gb/s SAS drives work with the PERC H730P 12Gb/s controller?

Yes, the H730P supports both 12Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, so older 6Gb/s disks will operate at their native speed.

How can I verify the quad-port X520/I350 network card is functioning after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface for link status on the two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, and confirm each port shows an active connection.
