2U Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage and virtual desktop infrastructure. It fits two Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. It is aimed at operators who need high drive density in a compact rack footprint.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Limit

The chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5-inch drives using a SAS interface connected to the PERC H730P controller. This controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The installed pair of 300 GB 10K SAS drives occupies only two bays, leaving the remaining capacity for expansion. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

Dual-Socket Ceiling at Two CPUs

The Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets allow a maximum of two processors, which are already installed, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Memory can scale to 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, but the current 128 GB configuration uses only eight slots. Buyers who need more than two sockets or a different processor generation should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 300 GB SAS drives or add larger capacity drives to the 24 bay chassis?

The server includes two 300 GB 10K SAS drives and provides 24 front 2.5 inch bays for additional SAS or SATA drives.

What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 4110 speed deliver in this 2U server?

Two 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, giving 16 cores for virtualisation or database workloads.

How does the PERC H730P 12Gb/s SAS controller limit drive performance?

The H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, capping drive throughput at the controller's 12Gb/s link.
