Server for dense SATA storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis holds up to 24 small-form-factor SATA drives and ships with two Xeon Platinum 8260L processors running at 2.4 GHz plus 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 10 GbE ports are installed, while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management. The system arrives with firmware updated and no drives fitted.

Suits workloads that scale within SATA limits

Organisations building storage-heavy clusters, backup targets or software-defined storage nodes can populate the 24 bays with SATA SSDs or HDDs and grow memory up to 3 TB. Buyers who need PCIe-attached flash, GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should evaluate a different platform because the chassis and controller are limited to SATA and the memory ceiling is fixed at 3 TB.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA chassis

The defining specification is the 24-drive 2.5-inch backplane wired to a PERC H730P controller, which only presents SATA connectivity. This constraint decides whether the server matches a given storage architecture.

Questions about this item

Will the 64GB DDR4 memory need upgrading to reach the 3TB maximum capacity?

The system supports up to 3TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across its slots; the installed 64GB can be expanded by adding compatible modules.

Does the PERC H730P RAID controller limit sustained throughput with 24 SATA drives?

The PERC H730P manages all 24 bays; sustained performance will depend on the RAID level chosen and the drive mix you install.

How loud and hot do the dual 1100W supplies and two Xeon 8260L processors get under 24-hour load?

Dual 1100W supplies and the 24-core Xeon 8260L CPUs are cooled by redundant fans; the iDRAC9 Enterprise console reports real-time thermal and power data.
