Dell PowerEdge R740xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays for SATA drives and includes dual 1100 W power supplies.

Suits high-density storage clusters.

This configuration fits environments that need many drive slots in a compact rack footprint, such as software-defined storage nodes or backup targets. The integrated graphics and lack of installed GPUs make it unsuitable for workloads that require accelerator cards or high single-thread performance. Buyers who need more than two sockets or larger 3.5-inch bays should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 2.5-inch SATA bays define capacity ceiling

The single specification that determines fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the H730P controller. It sets the maximum number of drives and the interface speed available for the storage tier. If the design calls for a different bay count or a different drive interface, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual 1100W supplies draw when the R740xd runs 24 drive bays continuously?

Each supply is rated at 1100W; actual draw depends on the drives and workload installed.

Which drive carriers and cables must I supply to populate the 24 SFF bays?

The chassis accepts 2.5" SATA drives; carriers and backplane cables are not included.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise older SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA drives and presents them to the OS via its RAID firmware.
