Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a two-socket 2U chassis. Dual Xeon Gold 6142 processors provide thirty-two cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, while 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller handle large working sets. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives full remote control.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure hosts and service-provider platforms that need high spindle count and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Redundant 1100 W platinum supplies and hot-swap bays support continuous operation. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds beyond the stated turbo should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The deciding specification is the twenty-four 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives served by the H730P 2 GB controller. That combination fixes raw capacity, IOPS profile and RAID options for the deployment. If the project demands a different drive count, form factor or interface, this exact chassis will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all 24 1.2TB SAS drives after installation?

Open the H730P BIOS during POST and confirm each of the 24 1.2TB SAS drives appears in the physical drive list with a healthy status.

Which drives and rails are included and what must I add?

The unit ships with 24 Dell Enterprise 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives and Ready Rails; you only need to supply rack mounting hardware and network cables.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this server?

It comes with 64GB as 4x 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Registered ECC modules occupying four of 24 slots, leaving 20 slots free for future expansion up to 3TB.
