12-Bay 3.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. No hard drives are installed, so storage capacity is configured separately.

Suited for High-Capacity Storage Workloads

This chassis suits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch drive arrays for backup, archive or software-defined storage clusters. The dual-socket design and large memory footprint also support virtualisation hosts. Buyers who require a smaller 1U form factor or a different drive bay count should look at something else.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Drive Bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve-bay 3.5-inch front layout, which determines how many large-capacity SATA drives the system can hold. Matching this bay count and form factor to the rack space and storage plan confirms whether this server is the right part.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs and 768 GB DDR4 draw under continuous load?

Two 1100 W power supplies are fitted; the pair of 8-core Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 768 GB DDR4 run within that redundant 1100 W envelope, so sustained operation stays inside the rated power budget.

What caddies and drives must I supply to populate the twelve 3.5-inch bays?

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives; no drives or caddies are included, so you must provide compatible 3.5-inch SATA HDDs or SSDs and Dell 3.5-inch drive carriers.

Will the PERC H730P RAID controller manage older SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the PERC H730P supports SATA drives, so existing 3.5-inch SATA HDDs or SSDs can be used in the twelve drive bays.
