Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits 24 small-form-factor drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupy four slots. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the array.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, service-provider hosting and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive count matters. Buyers who need solid-state media or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the chassis is populated with spinning SAS drives and no GPU risers are mentioned.

Twenty-four 600 GB 10 K SAS drives

The single specification that decides fit is the installed drive set: twenty-four 600 GB 10 K SAS disks on a 12 Gb/s controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Capacity and spindle speed are fixed by this population.
