Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF compute server

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730P RAID controller for internal storage arrays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for dense storage workloads

The 24-bay design fits organisations that need high local capacity in a compact rack footprint, while the dual 12-core CPUs and large memory pool support heavy virtual machine densities. Buyers who require GPU-accelerated compute or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

This single specification determines whether the server matches the physical space and storage density the buyer has planned. If the rack layout or drive-count requirement differs, the platform will not meet the need.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis or a smaller drive-count version?

The 24SFF chassis holds up to 24 2.5-inch drives, giving the highest density for this R740xd platform; select it when you need maximum local storage slots in a 2U rack space.

What does the 256GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory mean for actual workloads?

256GB of DDR4 ECC Registered RAM across two Xeon Gold 6126 CPUs supports large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and heavy multitasking while protecting data integrity with error correction.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit drive performance?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives at up to 12Gb/s per port, so SSD throughput is capped by the SATA link rather than the controller itself.
