DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 8-core 512GB DDR4 H730 24x 1.2TB SAS

24-bay 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server system built for dense storage and compute. Dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors provide 16 total cores at 2.6GHz with 3.4GHz turbo. 512GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 16 of 24 slots. A PERC H730 controller manages 24 installed 1.2TB 10K SAS drives.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprise tasks such as data warehousing, e-commerce, VDI, databases and HPC data nodes. Quad-port networking with dual 1GbE and dual 10Gb SFP+ handles heavy traffic. iDRAC8 Enterprise gives full remote management. Buyers who need solid-state media, GPU compute density or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS drives delivering high spindle-count capacity in 2U. The H730 controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through modes. Memory scales to 1.5TB across 24 DDR4 slots. Dual 750W platinum supplies provide redundant power.
