Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-Bay Server

This 2U rack server arrives with two Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processors at 2.6GHz and twelve cores each, delivering 19.25MB cache per CPU. A massive 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the board. The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays behind a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Built for dense storage workloads

Organisations running virtualisation clusters, software-defined storage or large databases will use the bay count and memory capacity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or high-frequency trading should look elsewhere because the system only provides integrated graphics. The fixed two-socket limit also means the platform cannot scale beyond the installed processors.

24 x 2.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The front-loading backplane accepts twenty-four SATA drives, making the bay count the single figure that decides whether the server fits the storage plan. No drives ship with the unit so the buyer must populate the bays to match performance and redundancy targets.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 24-drive 2.5-inch chassis and other bay counts?

This unit uses the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis, so the choice is fixed; it provides the maximum density this model supports.

What does the 2.6 GHz Xeon Gold 6126 deliver inside this server?

Two 12-core Gold 6126 CPUs at 2.6 GHz with 19.25 MB cache each give 24 cores total for multi-threaded workloads.

What does the PERC H730P controller cap in practice?

The H730P handles RAID across the installed SATA drives and presents up to eight lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth to the system.
