24-Bay 2U Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack chassis. One Xeon E5-2660 v3 processor at 2.6 GHz with ten cores and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory is installed. Dual 1100 W supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Storage-Focused Buyers Not Needing Maximum Compute

Teams building high-capacity arrays for backup, archiving or software-defined storage will use the 24 bays and PERC H730 SAS/SATA controller. Workloads that demand two CPUs, larger memory footprints or GPU acceleration should choose a different platform.

24-Drive 2.5-Inch Chassis Decides Fit

The 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel sets the physical storage limit; no additional drive cages can be added. Confirm that your workload fits within this bay count before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single Xeon E5-2660v3 or add a second processor?

The server supports up to two processors. One 10-core Xeon E5-2660v3 at 2.6GHz is installed; a second matching CPU can be added later for heavier multi-threaded workloads.

What does the 256GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory deliver in daily use?

256GB of DDR4 ECC Registered RAM provides large capacity with error correction for virtualisation, databases and memory-intensive applications, and can be expanded to 768GB.

How does the PERC H730 SAS controller limit drive performance?

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages up to 24 SATA drives in the 2.5-inch bays, so throughput is capped by the SATA interface and the controller's RAID overhead.
