Dense 12-bay 3.5" storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd 12LFF is a 2U rackmount server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual Xeon Silver 4210 processors deliver twenty cores at 2.2 GHz, backed by 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.

Suits cold-storage and archive workloads

This configuration targets teams that need high raw capacity in a compact 2U form factor for backups, media archives or software-defined storage clusters. Buyers who require all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch bays define capacity

The chassis accepts up to twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives, making the bay count the single specification that determines whether the system matches your storage density requirements.

Questions about this item

What drive interface does the PERC H730P RAID controller support on this R740xd?

The PERC H730P controller supports SATA drives in the 12 x 3.5" bays.

What are the chassis dimensions for rack mounting this 12-bay server?

The unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 inches and weighs 40 units, requiring a standard 2U rack space.

How are the two Xeon Silver 4210 processors and 128GB DDR4 installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs and all 128GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory are pre-installed; the common oversight is not adding drives before RAID configuration.
