24-Bay 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processors, each running 22 cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.6 GHz Turbo. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730 controller and quad-port network card provide storage and connectivity for enterprise deployments.

Suited for High-Density Storage Nodes

This configuration fits data warehouses, virtual desktop infrastructure and database clusters that need many drive bays in a compact chassis. The 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch trays accept SAS or SATA drives for large capacity arrays. Organisations requiring GPU compute, fibre-channel networking or single-thread frequency optimisation should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 1 GB RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730 delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 1 GB cache and battery backup. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, making it the key specification for storage architects planning the array layout.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 24-bay 2.5" chassis or a smaller drive count for this R730xd?

The 24-bay 2.5" chassis gives maximum density for SAS or SATA drives; choose it when you need many spindles or SSDs in 2U, otherwise a 12-bay 3.5" variant fits fewer but larger drives.

What does the 2.2 GHz base clock with 3.6 GHz turbo mean for real workloads on dual Xeon E5-2699 v4 CPUs?

Each of the two 22-core processors runs at 2.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.6 GHz, delivering 44 total cores for heavy multithreaded tasks such as virtualization or databases.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive performance in practice?

The H730 caps each drive at 12 Gb/s SAS or 6 Gb/s SATA, supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 plus pass-through, and uses its 1 GB cache with battery backup for write acceleration.
