DELL PowerEdge R740xd 24SFF 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 384GB DDR4 No Drive

High-density 24-bay server for storage-heavy

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays in a 2U rack frame, giving storage-heavy workloads a dense platform. Two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors at 2.9 GHz deliver forty-eight cores for database, virtualisation or analytics tasks. Three hundred and eighty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory datasets. The system ships without drives so you can populate the bays with the capacity and endurance profile your workload demands.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID and 10 GbE

A PERC H730P RAID controller manages the backplane, providing hardware-accelerated RAID levels that keep write latency predictable during extended rebuilds or streaming ingest. Dual 1100 W power supplies share the load, reducing thermal stress on any single unit during continuous operation. The integrated 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter moves data off the array at wire speed without saturating the PCIe bus. iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management lets operators monitor temperatures, power draw and drive health in real time without leaving the console.

Rack-ready build with tool-less rails

The chassis measures thirty-six by twenty-four by ten inches and weighs forty pounds, fitting standard four-post racks with the optional tool-less rail kit. Front-facing drive carriers lock without tools, so drive swaps take seconds during a maintenance window. Rear I/O groups the 10 GbE ports, management NIC and power inlets together, keeping cable runs short and airflow clean. All firmware is updated to the latest stable release before shipment, and each unit passes a full burn-in diagnostic to verify sustained stability.
