24-bay 2.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mount server populated with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors running at 2.7GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H730P RAID controller and dual 1100W power supplies are installed. No drives are included.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration fits organisations building high-capacity storage arrays, software-defined storage nodes or backup targets that benefit from 24 hot-plug bays in a 2U form factor. Buyers who need more storage bays than 24, a different drive form factor, or a single-processor platform should evaluate other chassis options.

24 SFF drive bays define capacity

The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis is the specification that determines whether this server matches the intended storage density. All other components scale around that bay count.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 24 drive bays using the PERC H730P controller with SATA drives?

The PERC H730P RAID controller manages the 24 SATA drive bays, and each SATA SSD or HDD is limited to the 6Gb/s SATA link speed in practice.

Does the iDRAC9 Enterprise license require a separate subscription or is it fully included with this server?

The iDRAC9 Enterprise license is included with the server, providing full remote management capabilities without an additional subscription fee.

Will the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis fit in a standard 19-inch rack and what rail kit is needed?

The server is a 2U rackmount chassis designed for standard 19-inch racks; a compatible rail kit is available on request for secure mounting.
