Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density in a compact form factor. It ships with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays populated by 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory provide the compute base for software-defined storage or virtual desktop infrastructure.

Suited for capacity-first deployments

This configuration targets buyers who need maximum spindle count and hardware RAID in a 2U chassis. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for storage traffic segmentation. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration, additional PCIe slots beyond the riser layout, or a smaller drive count with solid-state media should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay SAS drive count decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane paired with the H730P controller. If the target workload fits within 24 hot-swap spindles and RAID levels 0 through 60, the server meets the requirement; if the design calls for more bays or a different drive interface, this chassis cannot satisfy it.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730P controller use and what speed does it cap at?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS controller that also supports SATA drives, so the practical ceiling is the 12Gb/s SAS link.

What physical space and mounting hardware does this 2U server require?

It occupies 2U of rack height and includes Dell ReadyRails for tool-less installation in standard 2-post or 4-post racks.

How is the PERC H730P controller installed and what step is often missed?

The controller is pre-installed in a dedicated slot; the step often missed is connecting the RAID battery backup cable to the card.
