Dell PowerEdge R740xd 2U Storage Server

This Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, 64GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P controller driving twenty-four drive bays.

Suited for software-defined storage

The chassis fits twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS hard drives running at 10K RPM. Buyers who need all-flash performance or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis with H730P RAID

The PERC H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through across all twenty-four bays. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the system matches your storage design.

Questions about this item

Does the R740xd ship with all 24 drive bays filled, or must I supply my own drives?

The unit includes 24 Dell Enterprise 600GB 10K SAS 2.5" drives pre-installed, so every bay is populated.

How do the dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors compare to a single-CPU configuration for virtualisation workloads?

Two 8-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo give 16 physical cores total, doubling thread count and memory bandwidth versus a single-socket build.

What does the 64 GB DDR4 2400 MHz ECC memory mean for actual VM density on this 2U server?

64 GB across four 16 GB modules leaves 20 free DIMM slots, allowing expansion up to 3 TB for much higher consolidation ratios.
