Dense 12-bay 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a 2U rack form factor. Two Xeon Silver 4108 processors run at 1.8 GHz and provide sixteen cores total. 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, with capacity to reach 3 TB. The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA storage arrays.

Storage-heavy workloads.

This platform suits archives, backups, object stores and databases that benefit from high spindle count and large memory. It is not for buyers who need GPU compute acceleration, nor for racks limited to 1U height. Workloads requiring only a few drives gain no advantage from the twelve-bay chassis.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch layout. If the deployment needs that many large-form-factor disks in 2U, this server matches; if fewer bays or 2.5-inch density are required, a different chassis is appropriate.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 1100W supplies draw when the R740xd runs continuously?

The server includes two 1100W power supplies; actual draw depends on the drives and workload you install.

Which drive trays and cables must I already have to populate the 12 x 3.5" bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5" SATA drives; you need compatible 3.5" trays and SATA data cables for each bay.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise older SATA drives I keep from a previous server?

The PERC H730P supports SATA drives, so existing SATA disks should be detected and can be configured in RAID.
