24-Bay 2.5" Rack Server

This 2U Dell PowerEdge R740xd chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA drives and ships with a PERC H730P RAID controller. A single Xeon Gold 5120 processor running at 2.2 GHz with fourteen cores and 19.25 MB cache is installed alongside 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 1100 W power supplies are fitted.

Suits dense storage workloads; not for GPU compute

The 24-bay front panel and hardware RAID make this platform a fit for storage-heavy applications such as software-defined storage, backup targets or media archives. The single CPU configuration and integrated graphics only limit performance for virtualisation clusters, database nodes or render farms that demand dual processors or discrete accelerators. Buyers needing more than 3 TB of RAM or a second CPU should evaluate other configurations.

256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs populated across the memory slots. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB when both processor sockets are filled. Confirm that your application’s working set fits within the installed amount or plan to add modules before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 24SFF chassis or a different bay count for this R740xd?

The 24SFF chassis provides 24 bays for 2.5" drives; select it when you need maximum density in a 2U rack server.

What does the 2.2 GHz Xeon Gold 5120 with 14 cores deliver in this server?

The single 14-core processor at 2.2 GHz with 19.25 MB cache handles multi-threaded workloads and virtualization; a second CPU can be added later.

How does the PERC H730P controller and SATA interface limit drive performance?

The H730P RAID controller manages SATA drives at up to 6 Gb/s per port; throughput caps at the SATA link speed rather than the controller maximum.
