Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 drive bays into a 2U rack frame. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure and service-provider deployments that need high drive density. Buyers who require solid-state media or more than 24 bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The chassis holds 24 enterprise 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives, delivering raw capacity and throughput for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays. Match the bay count and SAS interface to your storage design before ordering.
