Storage-dense 2U server

The PowerEdge R740xd fits 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon Gold 6142 processors supply 32 cores total, while 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory supports heavy virtualisation or software-defined storage workloads.

SAS controller throughput limit

The PERC H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2GB cache and 12Gb/s SAS lanes. All 24 installed 600GB 10K drives share this bus, so aggregate random I/O tops out at the controller’s peak bandwidth rather than the drive count.

768GB DDR4 registered ECC installed

The system arrives with 24 populated slots of 32GB modules at 2666MHz, leaving no empty DIMM sockets for simple expansion. Buyers who need more than 768GB must replace modules to reach the 3TB platform maximum.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" chassis or a different drive-count version?

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5" configuration; it ships with 24x 600GB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon Gold 6142 speed mean under load?

Each of the two 16-core CPUs runs at 2.6 GHz base and can turbo to 3.7 GHz, giving 32 cores total for heavy virtualization or storage workloads.

How does the 12Gb/s SAS interface limit real-world throughput?

The PERC H730P and backplane run at 12Gb/s SAS, so each 600GB 10K drive is capped at that link speed; the controller also supports SATA at 6Gb/s.
