Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drives into a two-socket 2U chassis, giving software-defined storage clusters and virtual desktop farms a high-capacity foundation. Dual Xeon Gold 6134 processors and 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2666 supply the compute headroom those workloads demand.

Upgrade from single-socket or HDD arrays

Replacing a single-processor server or a spinning-disk array with this dual-socket, all-flash configuration adds a second CPU, doubles the core count to sixteen, and moves every volume onto 800 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730P controller. The jump is worth it when latency-sensitive databases or erasure-coded object stores outgrow one socket or mechanical throughput.

Rack-ready with redundant power and 10 GbE

Two hot-swap 1100 W platinum supplies, sliding rails and a front bezel ship installed, so the unit slots straight into a standard cabinet. The X520/I350 daughter card contributes two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC9 Enterprise handles remote firmware and power cycles without a separate KVM.

Questions about this item

What rack hardware is included for mounting the 2U chassis?

The server ships with Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard rack cabinet.

Which RAID levels does the PERC H730P controller support for the 24 installed SSDs?

The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, plus pass-through mode, with its 2GB cache backed by a battery.

When will the 800GB SATA SSDs or the controller battery need replacement?

The 24 SATA SSDs are enterprise-grade drives rated for heavy write workloads, and the H730P battery typically lasts several years before requiring a swap.
