2U Dual Xeon Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server built for storage-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 populated slots supports heavy virtualisation. A PERC H730P controller manages up to 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays.

Ideal for Software-Defined Storage

This platform suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure, or service-provider hosting. Redundant 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management simplify operations. Buyers who require more than two CPU sockets, GPU compute density, or fibre-channel connectivity should evaluate alternative chassis designs.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front drive cage paired with the H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines how many drives can be installed and which redundancy levels are available for the target workload.
