High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads such as software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider platforms. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo, while 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots supports large virtualisation clusters. Twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs connect to a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suited to capacity-first deployments

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum drive bays and redundant 1100 W power supplies in a 2U form factor, plus quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links managed through iDRAC9 Enterprise. It is not for buyers who need more than two processor sockets, more than 3 TB of memory or drive interfaces other than SATA and SAS.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD array

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs on a 12 Gb/s PERC H730P controller; if your workload requires a different drive count, interface or capacity per drive, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum number of processors the R740xd can accept?

The system supports up to two processors, and both sockets are already populated with Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs.

How much power do the redundant supplies draw under continuous load?

Two 1100 watt platinum units share the load, so each runs well below its rating during all-day operation.

Which memory type must already be installed for the 768 GB to function?

The server uses DDR4 registered ECC modules; the 24 slots are filled with 32 GB sticks at 2400 MHz.
