Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack system built for workloads that demand high drive density in a compact footprint. It suits software-defined storage clusters, service-provider platforms and virtual desktop infrastructure where capacity and compute must share the same chassis.

24-Bay Hot-Swap Drive Array

Twenty-four 2.5-inch bays accept SATA or SAS devices and are served by a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. The array ships populated with 24 enterprise 400GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection.

Dual 1100W Platinum Supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1100-watt Platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load, keeping each unit in its high-efficiency band during typical operation. The 2U form factor uses front-to-rear airflow tuned for dense drive configurations while maintaining acceptable acoustic levels in rack rows.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput can the 24 installed 400 GB SSDs deliver through the H730P controller?

Each drive is a 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s unit; the PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA lanes with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so aggregate throughput will be limited by the SATA link speed of the individual SSDs.

Which network interfaces are provided by the X520/I350 daughter card?

The card supplies two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for mixed copper and fibre connectivity.

How much additional DDR4 memory can be added to the 24 DIMM slots?

The system ships with 128 GB across 8 slots; maximum supported capacity is 3 TB, leaving 16 slots free for registered ECC DDR4 2666 MHz modules.
