Dense 2.5-inch storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 SFF bays into a 2U rack frame with two Xeon Gold 6140 processors at 2.3 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller manages SAS drives, while iDRAC9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Teams needing high drive density in 2U

This chassis suits workloads that fill many 2.5-inch SAS bays such as software-defined storage, backup targets or dense virtualisation clusters. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-socket economics or 3.5-inch drive capacity should evaluate different platforms.

24 hot-swap 2.5-inch bays decide fit

The 24-bay front panel is the defining constraint; configure it with the SAS drives your application demands or choose another server if the bay count or form factor does not match the deployment.

Questions about this item

What type of memory modules will be needed for future expansion beyond the installed 128GB DDR4?

The system uses DDR4 ECC Registered memory and supports up to 3TB total capacity across its DIMM slots.

Which component reaches its maximum first when the dual Xeon Gold 6140 processors run sustained workloads?

With 18 cores per CPU and a 2.3GHz base speed, the two-socket limit of 36 total cores is the fixed ceiling for parallel threads.

How much power do the redundant supplies draw when the 24-bay chassis runs continuously?

Two 1100W units provide redundancy; actual draw depends on the drives and add-in cards installed in the 24 SFF bays.
