24-bay 2.5" rack server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U frame, giving maximum capacity per rack unit. Two Xeon Bronze 3106 processors at 1.7 GHz and 1.5 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide the compute foundation for storage-heavy workloads. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 10 GbE ports are factory-installed.

Suited to archive, backup

This configuration targets buyers who need many SAS drive slots and high memory density without discrete GPU compute. Organisations requiring PCIe add-in cards beyond the available slots, or workloads that demand GPU acceleration, should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 2.5" drive bays define the storage ceiling

The chassis limit of twenty-four SAS bays sets the maximum raw capacity and spindle count achievable in this unit. Buyers whose datasets exceed what 24 drives can hold must plan for external enclosures or additional servers.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P RAID controller need later?

The PERC H730P RAID controller includes a replaceable battery-backed write cache module that typically requires replacement every few years to maintain data protection during power loss.

Which limit appears first under sustained use with the 2x 1100W power supplies?

The 1100W power supplies set the thermal and electrical ceiling; sustained loads that exceed their combined output will trigger throttling before CPU or memory limits are reached.

How much noise and heat do the dual 1100W supplies generate when the server runs all day?

Dual 1100W supplies run continuously at moderate fan speeds; idle noise is noticeable in quiet rooms and heat output matches the total power drawn by the configured workload.
