Dense 24-bay rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits twenty-four 2.5-inch drives in a 2U chassis, giving storage-heavy workloads a compact footprint. Dual Xeon E5-2620 v4 processors at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory provide the compute base for virtualisation clusters or software-defined storage nodes.

Steady throughput under load

The PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across all bays without a single bottleneck, while twin 1100 W supplies keep power delivery stable during sustained write storms. iDRAC8 Enterprise gives remote console and telemetry so administrators can track thermals and drive health without walking the aisle.

Replaces smaller 2U arrays

Organisations consolidating multiple 12-bay boxes gain density and a single management plane, especially when the jump includes 10 GbE uplinks already installed. Buyers who need GPU compute or more than two sockets should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much heat will the dual 2.1 GHz Xeon E5-2620 v4 CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 add to my rack during continuous operation?

The server ships with two 1100 W power supplies and integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management so you can monitor real-time thermal readings and fan speeds from anywhere.

What cabling and drives do I need to populate the 24 SFF bays connected to the PERC H730 SAS controller?

The backplane accepts 2.5-inch SATA drives; you supply the drives and matching SATA cables, then configure RAID levels through the H730 BIOS or iDRAC8.

Can the onboard Intel I350 and X540 ports (2× 10 GbE + 2× 1 GbE) link directly to my older 1 GbE switches?

Yes, the X540 ports auto-negotiate down to 1 GbE while the I350 ports run at native 1 GbE, so existing copper or fibre uplinks work without extra adapters.
