Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12-Bay Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller, but no drives are installed. Dual 1100 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence provide redundant power and full remote management.

Ideal for dense cold-storage archives

This configuration suits teams that need maximum 3.5-inch bay count in a 2U form factor and can populate the slots with high-capacity SATA drives. Buyers who require more than two processors, faster per-core clock speeds, or installed drives should look elsewhere.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define the storage ceiling

The chassis supports exactly twelve large-form-factor drives, so total raw capacity is limited by the number and size of SATA drives you add. No other drive form factor fits this backplane, and the PERC H730P manages RAID across those twelve slots.
