Dense 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis, driven by two Xeon Gold 6152 processors at 2.1 GHz with twenty-two cores each and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100 W supplies complete the platform.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration fits buyers who need maximum local drive density for software-defined storage, backup targets or dense virtualisation clusters with integrated 10 GbE networking. Buyers who require GPU compute trays, single-socket economy or fewer than twenty-four drive bays should evaluate other form factors.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis constraint

The defining specification is the twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bay chassis, which sets the storage ceiling and physical footprint; verify rack depth and drive-count requirements before ordering.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance should I plan for the 24 x 2.5" bays?

The chassis holds 24 SFF drives; plan for routine SMART monitoring and hot-swap replacement of any SATA drive that shows reallocated sectors or excessive latency.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained all-core workloads?

The two Xeon Gold 6152 CPUs each have 22 cores at 2.10 GHz; sustained all-core turbo will hit the package power limit before memory or storage bandwidth saturates.

How loud and hot does the rack unit get running 24/7 with dual 1100 W supplies?

Dual 1100 W PSUs and high-core-count CPUs produce substantial heat; the system ramps multiple fans to maintain thermal margins, so expect audible airflow in a standard rack.
