High-density storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand large local capacity. Two Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory provide the compute base for software-defined storage clusters or virtual desktop infrastructure.

Upgrade from limited drive bays

Moving from a 12-bay or smaller chassis adds 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS bays populated with 300 GB 10 K drives. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 so the jump is worth it when you need both throughput and redundancy in one box.

Fits a 2U rack with redundant power

Dual 1100 W platinum power supplies and ready rails slide into standard cabinets without extra cabling. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management so the server runs headless from day one.
