PowerEdge R740xd 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors provide 16 cores each at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives fill the 2.5 inch bays, while dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suited for dense storage and virtualisation

This server fits environments that need high drive count in a compact chassis, such as software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require solid-state media installed from the factory should look elsewhere because the configuration ships with 10K SAS hard drives only. Workloads demanding more than two processors cannot scale further on this platform.

24-bay 2.5 inch SAS drive capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5 inch front panel that accepts SAS and SATA drives. With 24 enterprise 300 GB 10K SAS disks already installed, the chassis delivers raw capacity and spindle performance in a single 2U envelope. The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Confirm that your workload matches this drive count and interface before purchasing.

Questions about this item

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

All 24 bays are filled with 300GB 10K SAS drives so no extra drives are required for the listed configuration.

Should I choose the 128GB memory configuration or plan for a larger capacity?

The system includes 128GB across 8 slots leaving 16 free slots; maximum supported capacity is 3TB if future workloads demand more memory.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 2.6GHz 16-core Xeon Gold 6142 processors?

Each processor runs at 2.6GHz base with 3.7GHz turbo across 16 cores delivering strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization and storage workloads.
