2U server with 24 2.5-inch bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz, each providing 10 cores and 25 MB cache. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the platform maximum, and includes a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are fitted as standard.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high drive-count density and large memory capacity in a compact chassis, such as software-defined storage nodes, backup targets or virtualisation hosts with local data tiers. The 24-bay front panel accepts 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. It is not for deployments that require GPU compute, and it will not fit workloads that need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond the installed 768 GB.

Maximum memory fixed at 768 GB

The platform maxes out at 768 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots, and this unit already populates that limit. Any future expansion would require replacing existing modules rather than adding new ones, so buyers planning larger memory footprints should evaluate a different server generation.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 RAID controller is functioning after installation?

During POST, the controller initialisation screen appears and lists all detected drives. iDRAC8 Enterprise then reports controller health, firmware version, and battery status in its storage overview.

Which drives and rail kit must I purchase separately for the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis?

The server ships with no drives installed; you need up to 24 SATA or SAS 2.5-inch drives. A rail kit is not included and must be ordered separately.

Is the installed 768 GB DDR4 the maximum this R730xd can accept?

Yes. The specification lists 768 GB as the maximum memory capacity, and the system already has that amount populated across its DIMM slots.
