Storage-dense 2U rack platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P 2GB controller managing SAS drives. Dual 1100W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.

Ideal for storage-heavy workloads

This system suits software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that need 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays in a compact 2U form factor. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require installed solid-state drives should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis designed for SAS hard drives, which sets the storage density ceiling for this server. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes with a 2GB cache and battery backup.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5" chassis or a smaller bay count for the R740xd?

This unit is the 24-bay 2.5" model, providing maximum drive density in a 2U rack height for storage-heavy workloads.

What does the 2.1 GHz base clock and 3.7 GHz turbo mean for actual performance?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.1 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo across 24 cores each, delivering high multi-thread throughput for virtualization and databases.

What does the H730P 12Gb/s SAS controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730P 2GB controller supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, limiting drive throughput to the controller's 12Gb/s link speed.
