Storage-dense 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount system built around dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays, while twin 1100W platinum supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundant power and full remote management.

Fits dense storage and virtualization workloads

This configuration suits teams deploying software-defined storage, VDI farms or service-provider platforms that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact chassis. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ links for flexible networking. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24 front bays with SAS/SATA controller

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front layout paired with a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are available without adding extra hardware.
