Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors provide 16 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of the 24 available slots. The PERC H730P controller manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch SATA or SAS drives.

Fits virtualisation and software-defined storage

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised storage clusters, backup targets or dense virtual desktop infrastructure. The quad-port network daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric design. Buyers who need GPU compute, single-socket economics or fewer drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch drive capacity

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays with no drives installed, letting you populate SAS or SATA media to match capacity and performance targets. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.
