24-Bay 2.5" Storage Server

This 2U rack server delivers 24 front-accessible 2.5" drive bays powered by dual 14-core Xeon processors at 2.4 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. 128 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory and a PERC H730 1 GB RAID controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Dense Capacity for Virtualisation and Databases

The 24-bay chassis suits workloads that demand high local storage density such as virtual desktop infrastructure, data warehousing and database nodes. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or more than 1.5 TB of memory should look at larger platforms.

PERC H730 1 GB RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines the RAID features and drive protocol support available to the 24 drive bays.
