Dense Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-heavy workloads. Two Xeon Silver 4110 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 16 total cores. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules. A PERC H730P controller manages the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suits Scale-Out Storage, Not Minimal Footprints

This platform fits software-defined storage clusters, virtual desktop farms or service-provider nodes that need high drive density in 2U. Buyers who only need a few drives or a smaller rack profile should look at something else. The dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise are included for resilient remote management.

24 Hot-Swap 2.5-Inch Bays Define Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front-loading chassis with SATA and SAS support. It determines how many drives you can install and what controllers you can use. No other drive count or form factor is available in this unit.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5" SATA SSD configuration or look for a different drive type?

This unit ships with two 800 GB SATA SSDs in the 24-bay 2.5" chassis. The PERC H730P controller also supports SAS drives if you need higher endurance or capacity later.

What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Silver 4110 speed mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two 8-core processors runs at 2.1 GHz base with 3.0 GHz turbo, giving 16 total cores for virtualization, databases or software-defined storage.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit real-world throughput?

The H730P's 12 Gb/s SAS interface caps each drive at that link speed; with SATA SSDs the practical ceiling is the 6 Gb/s SATA link of the installed 800 GB drives.
