24-Bay 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rackmount server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors at 2.1 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays provide high capacity in a compact form factor.

Suited For Storage-First Deployments

This platform fits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider environments that prioritise drive count over compute density. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or a larger 3.5-inch drive form factor should evaluate other chassis options.

PERC H730P RAID Controller Decides Fit

The included H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for SAS and SATA drives. If your deployment relies on this specific RAID feature set and battery-backed cache, the server matches the requirement.
