Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 8 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 4 modules and a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs fill every front bay, delivering high-capacity flash storage in a compact chassis.

Virtualisation and software-defined storage targets

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage clusters or service-provider workloads that benefit from dense 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Buyers needing GPU acceleration, larger memory footprints beyond 64 GB or single-threaded frequencies above 3.0 GHz should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the 24 x 400 GB SATA SSD complement, managed by the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This all-flash layout determines whether the server meets a project's raw capacity and IOPS requirements before any expansion shelves are considered.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R740xd provide for storage expansion?

The chassis has 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays, all populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs in this configuration.

What is the typical power draw of the dual 1100 W platinum supplies under full load?

Each supply is rated at 1100 W platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair is sized for the fully loaded 2U server.

Does the PERC H730P controller require a specific cache or battery module to enable RAID 5 and RAID 6?

The installed H730P includes a 2 GB cache with battery backup, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 without extra parts.
