DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6246R 128GB DDR4 rack server

Rack server with 24 SFF bays

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6246R processors running at 3.4 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS storage and includes dual 1100 W power supplies.

Suited for dense storage and dual-socket compute

This configuration fits workloads that need high local capacity and two-socket performance, such as virtualization clusters, database nodes or backup targets. Buyers who require only a single processor, fewer drive bays or a tower enclosure should consider other platforms. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE 562T adapter cover basic management and network needs.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drive bays decide fit

The defining constraint is the 24 SFF bay count paired with SAS connectivity and the H730P controller. If your deployment needs that exact bay density and interface, this chassis matches; if you need a different bay count or a non-SAS interface, this unit will not suit.
