Dense 24-bay 2U server for storage-heavy workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drive bays in a 2U rack height. Dual Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors run at 3.4 GHz with six cores each. 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed and the chassis supports up to 768 GB total. A PERC H730 SAS RAID controller and integrated graphics complete the core platform.

Suits buyers who need maximum drive density

This configuration targets database, virtualization and backup targets that benefit from many SAS drives and large RAM. Buyers who require GPU compute, 10 GbE networking as standard or a shallower 1U chassis should evaluate other platforms. The system ships without drives so storage must be sourced separately.

24 x 2.5-inch SAS drive bays define the storage

The 24-bay 2.5-inch backplane sets the upper limit for internal capacity and throughput. All drives connect through the PERC H730 SAS controller so the number of bays is the single constraint that determines whether the server fits the dataset.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell R730xd ship with drives or do I need to buy SAS drives separately?

The server arrives with no drives installed; the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis accepts SAS drives that must be purchased separately.

Which Xeon E5-2643 v3 configuration is included and can I add a second processor later?

Two Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors at 3.4 GHz are already installed, reaching the maximum of two sockets so no further CPU can be added.

How much of the 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is usable after the OS and PERC H730 controller reserve their share?

All 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is available to the operating system; the PERC H730 uses its own onboard cache and does not reduce system RAM.
