Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U two-socket rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 2.1 GHz 8-core processors and 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. Twelve 3.5-inch 8 TB 7.2 K SATA drives connect through a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, rails and bezel complete the package.

Suited for capacity-focused deployments

This configuration suits software-defined storage clusters, backup targets, video surveillance archives and virtual desktop infrastructure where raw capacity and dual-processor compute matter. The twelve-bay chassis and H730P controller handle large RAID arrays efficiently. Buyers who need solid-state performance, more than two processors or a smaller form factor should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 8 TB SATA drives in a 2U chassis

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch 8 TB 7.2 K SATA drives delivered in a 2U rack height. That combination fixes the storage density, spindle speed and physical footprint for the deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 512GB across 16 slots using 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules; 8 slots remain free for expansion up to 3TB total.

What does the 2.1GHz Xeon Silver 4110 speed mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two 8-core processors runs at 2.1GHz base with 3.0GHz turbo, giving 16 cores and 32 threads for virtualization or storage tasks.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the 12x 8TB SATA drives?

The H730P 2GB controller connects via 12Gb/s SAS/SATA and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through for the twelve 7.2K drives.
