2U 26-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd2 is a 2U rackmount server built for workloads that demand high storage density in a compact form factor. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller managing twenty-six 8TB 7.2K SATA drives. The platform includes iDRAC 9 Enterprise for remote administration and dual 1100W redundant power supplies.

Organisations needing dense capacity for archives

This server suits teams running software-defined storage, large backup repositories or media archives where raw capacity per rack unit is the priority. The 26 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays and dual 10/25Gb SFP28 network ports support high-throughput ingest. Buyers who require all-flash latency, GPU-accelerated compute or a smaller chassis should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P with 2GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P Mini controller provides 2GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It connects to the 26 SATA drives over 12Gb/s SAS infrastructure, determining the array configurations and data protection schemes available. Verify that the RAID levels and cache size match the resilience and performance targets of your deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections does the 2U server with dual 1100 Watt supplies need?

The server occupies 2U in a standard rack and ships with two 1100 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies that support redundant hot-swap operation.

Can the Broadcom 57414 10/25Gb SFP28 mezzanine card share a network with older 1GbE switches?

Yes, the integrated dual-port 1GbE LOM provides direct compatibility with existing 1GbE infrastructure while the 57414 card adds 10/25Gb SFP28 uplinks.

How do I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all 26 drives after installation?

Open the H730P BIOS utility or iDRAC 9 Enterprise storage view; all 26 8TB SATA drives should appear as physical disks ready for RAID configuration.
