Storage-dense 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed and managed by a PERC H730P controller.

Virtualisation and software-defined storage fits

This server suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, software-defined storage or service-provider platforms that need high drive density in a 2U form factor. The dual-socket design maxes out at two CPUs and 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, so buyers who need more than two sockets or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate other chassis. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration or specialised interconnects are not addressed by this configuration.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 400 GB SATA SSDs on a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA H730P controller. If the workload requires that many hot-swap drives in 2U with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 support, this unit matches the requirement. If fewer bays or a different drive interface are needed, another platform is appropriate.
