2U 24-bay server with dual Xeon Gold 6130

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1 GHz, each with 16 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suits storage-heavy virtualisation.

This platform fits software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should look at a different chassis.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA/SAS backplane decides fit

The 24-bay 2.5-inch backplane accepts SATA and SAS drives through the H730P controller, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across the 24 slots. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.
