Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server designed to balance storage scalability with compute performance. It targets software-defined storage deployments, service-provider environments and virtual desktop infrastructure where drive density matters.

Suits dual-socket SAS-heavy deployments

This system fits buyers who need twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS bays populated with 1.2TB 10K drives and a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It is not for buyers who require single-processor economy builds, configurations without redundant power supplies or platforms limited to fewer drive bays.

Storage density decides the fit

The defining specification is the twenty-four bay 2.5-inch chassis filled with 1.2TB SAS drives behind a PERC H730P controller, delivering high-capacity, high-IOPS storage in a 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The unit includes two Xeon Silver 4110 processors, 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730P controller with battery, 24 × 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives, a quad-port X520/I350 network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 1100 W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel. No extra components are included.

How do I choose between the listed versions or capacities?

This configuration is a single SKU with 2 × 8-core 2.1 GHz CPUs, 128 GB DDR4, 24 × 1.2 TB SAS drives and the H730P controller. There are no alternative versions or capacities to select from.

What does the 2.1 GHz figure mean once the server is running workloads?

Each Xeon Silver 4110 runs at a 2.1 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.0 GHz turbo when thermal headroom allows, giving 16 total cores for virtualisation, software-defined storage or VDI workloads.
