Dense 24-bay compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs two Xeon Gold 6126 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U rack chassis with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. It targets organisations that need high storage density alongside strong multi-threaded performance for virtualisation, databases or software-defined storage clusters.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

Dual 12-core CPUs at 2.6 GHz and the PERC H730P controller keep I/O consistent when all twenty-four bays are populated. The 1100 W redundant power supplies and updated firmware maintain stable operation during extended rebuilds, backups or analytics jobs without thermal throttling.

SATA interface and 10 GbE ceiling

Drive bays connect through SATA, so maximum per-drive bandwidth is limited to the SATA 6 Gbit/s specification. The installed 562T dual-port 10 GbE adapter caps network throughput at 10 Gbit/s per port, which defines the practical ceiling for replication or client access.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100W supplies draw when the 2.6GHz Xeon Gold 6126 CPUs run continuously?

Each supply is rated at 1100W; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair is sized for the dual 12-core processors and 512GB DDR4 under full load.

Which drive trays and backplane must I already have to populate the 24 SFF bays?

The chassis accepts 24 x 2.5" SATA drives; you need compatible 2.5" drive carriers and the SATA backplane that matches the PERC H730P controller.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID arrays import directly into this server's controller?

Yes, the installed PERC H730P recognises existing H730P virtual disks, so you can move SATA arrays across without rebuilding.
