Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.10 GHz with 8 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for virtualised storage and dense compute

This server suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider platforms that need high drive density in 2U. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and dual 1100 W redundant power supplies support continuous operation. Buyers needing more than two processors or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 600 GB 10K SAS drives populate every bay

Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives fill all front bays, delivering raw capacity through the H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management.

Questions about this item

When will the 24 600 GB SAS drives or the H730P controller battery need replacement?

The 24 600 GB 10K SAS drives are mechanical and the H730P includes a 2 GB cache battery; both are hot-swappable and typically replaced when SMART alerts or battery-learn cycles report degradation.

Which resource saturates first when all 24 bays stream sustained writes?

The PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller and the 24 600 GB 10K drives set the sequential write ceiling; the dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports can also become the bottleneck before the CPUs do.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 1100 W PSUs loaded 24/7?

Dual 1100 W platinum PSUs and redundant fans keep the 2U rack unit within Dell's thermal spec; expect data-centre noise levels and exhaust heat proportional to the actual workload.
