24-bay 2U server for dense storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide the compute and memory capacity for virtualisation clusters, software-defined storage or database workloads that demand high drive counts in limited rack space.

Thermals and power with dual 1100 W supplies

Redundant 1100 W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. The 2U form factor allows front-to-rear airflow across the 24 drive bays and both CPUs, while the PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID without adding a separate heat source. Fan speeds scale with inlet temperature so acoustic output stays proportional to actual thermal demand.

iDRAC8 Enterprise and flexible drive configuration

The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full out-of-band management including virtual console, power control and hardware inventory from any network location. Drives are not installed, so you can populate the 24 bays with the SATA or SAS SSDs and HDDs that match your capacity and performance targets. Rail kits are available on request for quick rack deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server into a standard rack, and which step do people often miss?

Use the optional rail kit to mount the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis; the step often missed is securing both rear mounting brackets so the 40 lb unit cannot shift under vibration.

What maintenance or replacement will the DDR4 memory need later?

The 768 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is already at the maximum supported capacity, so any future change means replacing existing modules rather than adding more.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads on the PERC H730 SAS controller?

The controller manages up to 24 SATA drives through the 2.5 in backplane; sustained write throughput will hit the backplane bandwidth ceiling before the controller itself saturates.
