High-density 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads that demand maximum drive count in minimal rack space. It ships with 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays populated by 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives and a Dell PERC HBA330 controller. Dual Xeon Gold 6150 processors provide 36 total cores for compute-heavy storage tasks.

Suits dense archives, not compute clusters

This platform fits organisations running software-defined storage, backup repositories or media archives that prioritise raw capacity per rack unit. Buyers who need more than two processors, larger memory footprints or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative chassis designs. The installed 32 GB DDR4 and single HBA330 limit immediate virtualisation density without further investment.

26-bay 3.5-inch front panel

The defining constraint is the 26-drive front panel, which fixes the physical storage limit and dictates power, cooling and cabling requirements. Any expansion beyond the supplied drives requires compatible 3.5-inch SATA or SAS media and available HBA330 ports.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drives fit in the R740xd2 before the chassis is full?

The front bays accept 26 drives and all 26 are populated with 4 TB 7.2 K SATA units.

What is the peak power draw when both 1100 W platinum supplies run at full load all day?

Each supply is rated at 1100 W platinum efficiency; the pair provides redundant power for the dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs and 26 drives.

Which network transceivers must I supply for the OCP 2.0 mezzanine card?

The Broadcom 57414 mezzanine uses two 10/25 Gb SFP28 ports, so you need compatible SFP28 modules and cables.
