Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need high drive density in a compact form factor. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 8-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute base for virtualisation or software-defined storage clusters.

Suited for capacity-focused deployments

This configuration fits teams running storage-heavy applications such as distributed file systems, backup targets or VDI environments where the 24-bay 2.5-inch layout and dual 1100 W power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers who need fewer drive bays, a different rack height or a single-processor design should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs installed

The server ships with twenty-four 400 GB SATA solid-state drives connected to a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This drive count and interface determine the raw capacity and performance ceiling for any deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller and all 24 SSDs are healthy after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface, navigate to the Storage section, and verify the H730P battery status shows Ready and every 400GB SATA SSD reports Online with no media errors.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The server ships with dual Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 ECC memory, H730P 2GB controller, 24x 400GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, redundant 1100W PSUs, rails and bezel; only an operating system licence and rack mounting hardware are not included.

Should I choose this 256GB configuration or add more DDR4 later?

The 256GB (8x 32GB) layout fills eight of 24 slots and supports up to 3TB total, so start here and add matching DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC modules when workloads demand more capacity.
