Dense storage compute node

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 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives and dual 1100 W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Storage-heavy virtualisation hosts

This platform suits teams deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or dense virtualisation clusters that benefit from 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 GbE SFP+ networking. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds above 3.0 GHz should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane paired with the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines whether the server fits a storage-centric workload or if a lower-bay-count compute node would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

How often will the H730P controller battery need replacing?

The PERC H730P includes a 2GB cache battery that typically lasts several years; replace it when iDRAC9 Enterprise reports a degraded state.

Which component limits sustained throughput first?

The two 300GB 10K SAS drives and the 12Gb/s controller set the ceiling for sustained write performance.

How loud and hot does the server run with both 1100W PSUs loaded all day?

Redundant 1100W Platinum supplies and 24-bay airflow keep noise at typical data-centre levels and temperatures within spec under full load.
