Let's get rolling. The Dell PowerEdge R740xd supports three types of drives: Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA) and Solid-State Drives (SSD). SAS drives have supported speed options of 7.2K, 10K and 15K RPM. SATA drives have only one speed option: 7.2K RPM. SSDs can run at speeds of 3GB/s, 6GB/s, or 12GB/s. The Dell PowerEdge R740xd has two chassis options, the 12 Bay and the 24 Bay; Both are SFF. We’ve been able to install drives with capacities of 2.4TB for SAS, 2TB for SATA, and 7.68TB for SSDs. If you have had higher drive capacities work with your R740XD, share your findings in the comments below. We are interested to hear what others have found.

We will also show you how to install a new drive into your R740xd. Both chassis for the R740xd accept hot swap drives. Installing drives into a hot swap system is very easy and requires no cabling. Hot swap means you can install a drive while the server is running. We will also go over how to test your drives with Dell Diagnostics and HD Sentinel. Dell Diagnostics will test more than just the drives, but we will utilize this test to make sure our drives are performing well. Dell will provide an amber light for predictive failure. This is very common on 15K SAS drives because their bearings wear out over time. HD Sentinel is great for checking the Health Scores and Power on Hours for drives.
