Storage-dense 2U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built around twelve 3.5-inch drive bays. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors provide sixteen total cores at 2.1 GHz, while 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory supports virtualisation and software-defined storage workloads.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap bays keep the array online during drive replacement or controller rebuilds.

Replaces smaller 1U or direct-attached storage

Organisations running out of internal bays on 1U servers or relying on external JBODs can consolidate into this chassis. The jump is worth it when growth exceeds twelve drives or when iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management becomes essential.
