24-Bay 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rackmount system built for dense storage workloads such as virtualization, databases and backup repositories. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors and 64GB of DDR4 memory ready for production use.

24 Drive Bays with SAS Interface

The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays connected through a SAS backplane, so every installed drive must use the SAS interface. This single specification determines whether your existing drives or new purchases will be compatible.

H730P RAID Controller Included

A Dell PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache is pre-installed to manage RAID levels across the 24 bays without consuming a PCIe slot. The dual-socket LGA 2011-3 platform supports a second processor if the single-CPU configuration was chosen, leaving room for memory expansion within the 64GB baseline.
