2U 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 64GB of DDR4 memory. It is built for environments that need high drive density and twin-socket compute in a compact form factor.

Organisations needing dense SAS storage

This platform suits buyers who want twenty-four 300GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It is not for teams that require solid-state media or a different drive interface.

PERC H730P 2GB SAS controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 2GB cache and 12Gb/s SAS connectivity, enabling the full RAID stack and pass-through mode for the twenty-four 300GB drives. This controller choice determines whether the array can deliver the redundancy and throughput your workload expects.

Questions about this item

Will the 24-bay 2.5" SAS chassis accept my existing 3.5" SATA drives without an adapter?

The chassis holds 24 x 2.5" SAS/SATA drives; 3.5" drives need a carrier or adapter to fit the 2.5" bays.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and all 24 drives are healthy after first boot?

Open iDRAC9 Enterprise or the PERC BIOS (Ctrl-R) and confirm the controller shows 2 GB cache, battery present, and all 24 drives report Optimal with no Foreign configurations.

Which items ship inside the box and what must I source separately?

Box includes the 2U server, 2 x Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 (4 x 16 GB), H730P controller with battery, 24 x 300 GB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 x 1100 W PSUs, bezel and rails. OS licences, SFP+ transceivers and rack mounting hardware are not included.
