24-bay 2.5" rack server with dual Xeon processors

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drive bays in a 2U rack chassis. Two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 CPUs run at 3.4 GHz and provide 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote administration. No drives are installed, allowing custom capacity planning.

Buyers who need dense local storage in a standard

The 24-bay front panel suits workloads that demand many spindles or SSDs without expansion shelves. Organisations that require pre-populated drives, GPU compute, or a deeper chassis for long cards should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and dual 10 GbE plus dual 1 GbE ports cover basic display and network needs without add-in cards.

PERC H730 SAS controller dictates drive

The installed RAID controller uses SAS signalling and supports SATA drives in the 24 front bays. Storage configuration depends entirely on this controller, so drive selection must match its SAS/SATA capability. Memory can grow to 768 GB across available DIMM slots when workloads expand.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays can the R730xd chassis accept before I hit the physical limit?

The chassis supports up to 24 2.5-inch bays, so that is the maximum number of drives you can install.

With both 1100 W supplies and dual Xeon E5-2643 v3 CPUs running continuously, what is the typical noise level?

The dual 1100 W power supplies and two 3.4 GHz Xeon processors mean the system will generate noticeable fan noise under sustained load in a quiet room.

Does the PERC H730 controller require a separate cache module or battery that I need to provide?

The PERC H730 RAID controller is installed and operational; no additional cache module or battery is required from you.
