Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack frame, giving capacity-focused teams a high-density platform for bulk data workloads. Two Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide the compute headroom for file services, backup targets or software-defined storage clusters.

Build Integration

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives with hardware acceleration, freeing CPU cycles for application work instead of parity calculation. Dual 1100W supplies deliver redundant power without occupying extra rack height, while the 10GbE 562T adapter slots straight into existing high-speed fabric. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote firmware updates and health monitoring from a separate management network.

Sustained Operation

Burn-in testing and updated BIOS firmware mean the system enters production without early-life failures. Redundant cooling and power paths keep both CPUs at full 3.2GHz throughput during extended rebuilds or replication jobs. The 24.75MB cache per processor absorbs write bursts so the controller can maintain consistent stripe performance across all twelve bays.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained CPU performance on the two Xeon Gold 6134 processors?

The 3.2GHz base clock on the 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 sets the continuous frequency ceiling under full load.

How much heat and power should I plan for with dual 1100W supplies running all day?

Dual 1100W power supplies deliver redundant capacity for the 24-core configuration and integrated graphics under sustained workloads.

Which drive caddies and backplane do I need to populate the 12 LFF bays?

The 12-bay 3.5" chassis uses SATA backplanes; you must supply compatible 3.5" drive carriers for the PERC H730P controller.
