Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need high drive density in a compact form factor. It ships with twenty-four 2.5-inch bays populated by 300 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors provide sixteen cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, while 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies four of twenty-four slots. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits capacity-first deployments

This configuration fits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure hosts and service-provider platforms that prioritise raw SAS capacity and hardware RAID flexibility. The quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ daughter card covers mixed network tiers without extra cards. Buyers needing all-flash speed, GPU compute trays or single-thread performance beyond 3.0 GHz turbo should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay SAS backbone

The defining spec is the twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s H730P controller, delivering dense rotational storage with battery-backed write cache in 2U. This drive count and controller combination determines whether the server matches a capacity-oriented brief or falls short for latency-sensitive all-flash designs.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U chassis and included rails fit a standard rack?

The server is a 2U rack model and ships with ready rails for mounting.

What is the step people miss when installing the PERC H730P controller?

The H730P includes a 2GB cache module with a battery; the battery must be connected before the controller is seated.

When will the 300GB 10K SAS drives need replacement?

Drives are enterprise 10K SAS units; monitor SMART attributes via iDRAC9 and replace any drive that shows reallocated sectors or predictive failure.
