PowerEdge R740xd 2U 24-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for storage-dense workloads. It arrives with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The chassis holds 24 front-access 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs. A PERC H730P controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Buyers needing high local flash capacity

This server suits teams deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-density virtualisation where internal flash capacity is the priority. The two-socket limit and fixed 24-bay 2.5-inch layout mean it will not fit workloads that require more than two processors, larger 3.5-inch drives or additional PCIe expansion beyond the integrated networking.

24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs

The single specification that decides fit is the pre-loaded complement of 24 enterprise SATA solid-state drives, delivering a large, ready-to-use flash pool without further drive procurement. If the application demands a different drive count, interface or capacity, this configuration will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What does having 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo deliver in a live workload?

Two 12-core Xeon Silver 4116 processors run at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz, giving 24 threads for parallel tasks such as virtualization or software-defined storage.

How does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s controller limit the 24 SATA SSDs in practice?

The H730P handles SAS and SATA at 12 Gb/s, supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, and its 2 GB cache backs write performance across all 24 drives.

What clearance and mounting hardware are required for the 2U chassis?

The unit occupies 2U of rack height and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for direct installation in a standard rack cabinet.
