The Dell PowerEdge EMC R740xd delivers a perfect balance between storage scalability and performance. The 2U two-socket platform is ideal for software-defined storage, service providers, or as virtual desktop infrastructure.
The R740XD has many configurations. Please read up on the manuals to make sure your configuration is going to work. Below are the Spec and Tech manuals.
The Dell PowerEdge R740xd has 3 Backplanes to choose from.
The 24 x 2.5" SAS/SATA/NVMe with a max of 12 NVMe drives allowed. Supports the mid and rear drive trays.
The 12 x 3.5" SAS/SATA (HDD/SDD) which supports the mid and rear drive trays.
The 24 x (NVMe) does not support a mid or a rear drive tray.
If you're thinking of having NVDIMM's with a battery. You can only install a 3.5" Mid-drive tray or no mid-drive tray. The Mid mid-drive tray for the 2.5" does not support a NVDIMM battery.
