2U rack server with 24-bay storage

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack-mounted server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors at 2.4 GHz, each providing 20 cores. Installed memory is 64 GB of DDR4 ECC across four 16 GB modules. The platform supports up to 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots.

Suited for software-defined storage

This configuration targets environments that need high drive counts in a compact chassis, such as software-defined storage clusters or VDI deployments. The 24 front-access 2.5-inch bays and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports support throughput-heavy tasks. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration or larger 3.5-inch drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

24 x 800 GB SATA SSDs with H730P RAID

The server includes twenty-four 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through modes. This all-flash array delivers consistent IOPS for mixed read-write workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise my existing 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in the 24 drive bays?

The H730P supports SAS and SATA drives, so your 2.5-inch SATA SSDs will be detected and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

Can I keep using my current DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules to reach the 3 TB maximum?

Yes, the 24 DIMM slots accept DDR4 registered ECC memory; adding matching 2666 MHz modules will expand capacity up to the 3 TB limit.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs and 24 SSDs are all seen by the system?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will list two 20-core processors at 2.4 GHz and show 24 drives attached to the H730P.
