Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with 24 small-form-factor drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W power supplies are installed.

Suits dense storage workloads, not GPU compute

This configuration targets environments that need many local drives, such as software-defined storage, backup targets or virtualisation clusters. The integrated graphics and lack of installed GPUs make it unsuitable for visualisation, rendering or AI training workloads that require accelerator cards.

24 x 2.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The chassis provides twenty-four hot-plug bays for 2.5-inch SATA drives, letting you scale raw capacity independently of compute. No drives are included, so you must populate the bays to match your performance and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 24 SFF drive bays and the installed 768 GB DDR4 when configuring this R740xd?

The 24 SFF bays accept 2.5 inch SATA drives you add yourself, while the 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is already installed across the two Xeon Gold 5120 processors.

What does the dual Xeon Gold 5120 at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores each deliver in a live workload?

Twenty-eight cores at 2.2 GHz with 19.25 MB cache per processor give strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation, databases and compute-heavy tasks.

What does the PERC H730P controller and 10 Gb 562T adapter cap in practice?

The PERC H730P handles RAID across the 24 SATA bays, and the dual-port 10 Gb 562T adapter limits network throughput to 10 Gbps per port.
