Storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server system built for data-intensive workloads that demand high storage capacity in a compact footprint. It ships with 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays ready for SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Compute fit

This platform suits organisations running software-defined storage, big-data analytics, backup repositories or media archives where drive count matters more than GPU acceleration. The 64 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across 16 slots can be expanded to 1 TB. Buyers who need more than two sockets, GPU compute density, or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative form factors.

Storage controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P mini controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives in all supported RAID modes and pass-through. This single component determines which drive types can be used and what data-protection schemes are available.

Questions about this item

What does the 26-bay 3.5-inch chassis include and are drives supplied?

The 2U chassis ships with 26 Dell 14G 3.5-inch drive trays installed; no hard drives are included so SAS or SATA drives must be purchased separately.

How do I choose between the 1 GbE LOM and the 10/25 GbE SFP28 mezzanine for my network?

The integrated dual-port 1 GbE LOM handles management and basic traffic, while the Broadcom 57414 dual-port 10/25 GbE SFP28 OCP 2.0 mezzanine adds high-speed connectivity for storage or compute clusters.

What does the 2.1 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo on the dual Xeon Gold 6230 mean for real workloads?

Two Gold 6230 CPUs deliver 40 cores at 2.1 GHz base with turbo up to 3.9 GHz, giving strong multi-thread throughput for virtualization, databases and software-defined storage while the H730P RAID controller manages up to 26 drives.
