Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs fill the front 2.5-inch bays, while dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Virtualisation and software-defined storage teams

This configuration suits environments that need high drive density in a compact chassis, such as software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider workloads. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require more than 24 hot-swap bays or a different drive interface should consider other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated entirely with 800 GB SATA SSDs, delivering raw flash capacity behind a single H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This layout determines whether the server matches a workload that prioritises dense, redundant SATA flash over fewer, larger drives or alternative protocols.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5" drive bays must be filled before I need to add more SSDs to this R740xd?

The server has 24 bays and all 24 are already populated with 800GB SATA SSDs, so no empty bays remain for additional 2.5" drives.

Which component reaches its maximum first when I keep both Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs at full load?

The system is limited to 2 processors and both sockets are already occupied, so CPU expansion is the first hard ceiling under sustained heavy compute.

What is the power draw of the two 1100W platinum PSUs when the R740xd runs 24/7 with all 24 SSDs active?

Each supply is rated at 1100W platinum efficiency; the pair provides full redundancy so the server continues operating if one unit fails.
