DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24 Bay 2.5" 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 768GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD

High-Density 2U Server for Data Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for midsize and large enterprise workloads such as data warehousing, e-commerce, VDI, databases and high-performance computing nodes. It fits 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays into a compact chassis with redundant hot-swap power supplies and an included bezel and rails.

Suits Storage-Heavy Virtualisation.

This platform suits buyers who need high local storage capacity with hardware RAID and quad-port 10GbE plus 1GbE networking in a two-socket box. It does not serve buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or drive interfaces beyond SATA and SAS. Builds requiring additional compute threads or specialised accelerator cards should evaluate other form factors.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis with Dual 8-Core Xeons

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front layout paired with two Xeon E5-2640 v3 8-core processors at 2.6GHz (3.4GHz turbo) and 768GB DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. The PERC H730 1GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, while iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote management.
