Purpose-built density

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd packs 24 drive bays into a 2U rack chassis with two Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets software-defined storage clusters, service-provider platforms and virtual desktop infrastructure where capacity and compute share the same footprint.

Controller and networking impact

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through across the 24 installed 800 GB SATA SSDs. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides dedicated out-of-band management.

Interface and form-factor limits

The 2U height and 24-bay 2.5-inch layout cap internal expansion to the factory drive count. SATA 6 Gb/s throughput bounds SSD performance, and the LGA 3647 socket with C620 chipset restricts future CPU upgrades to the same generation.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache module; the battery is a consumable part that typically requires replacement after several years of continuous operation.

What limits sustained write throughput on the 24 SATA SSDs?

The 6 Gb/s SATA link on each 800 GB SSD and the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller bandwidth set the ceiling for sustained sequential writes.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual 1100 W PSUs under full load?

Redundant 1100 W platinum PSUs and high-speed fans keep component temperatures within spec, but the 2U form factor generates noticeable airflow noise in a quiet room.
