24-bay 2.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon E5-2660v4 processors. It arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS controller, ready for storage-dense workloads. Integrated graphics and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide remote management without a discrete GPU.

Storage-focused teams, not GPU compute

This chassis suits organisations that need high local capacity for databases, virtualisation hosts or software-defined storage clusters. The twenty-four hot-plug bays and dual 1100 W supplies support redundant, high-throughput arrays. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, higher single-thread frequency, or more than two sockets should evaluate alternatives.

PERC H730 SAS controller decides drive choice

The installed PERC H730 SAS controller manages RAID across the twenty-four SATA bays, so drive selection must match SAS or SATA protocols. Maximum memory reaches 768 GB DDR4 across twenty-four slots, allowing future expansion. Confirm the controller firmware level matches your RAID topology before deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5-inch drive bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into the front bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the PERC H730 BIOS before the OS sees the array.

What maintenance will the 1100W power supplies need later?

The two 1100W units are hot-swap; replace a failed unit by pulling the handle and inserting the new one — no tools or server shutdown required.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2660v4 CPUs run at 2 GHz under sustained load?

The 14-core processors hit their package power ceiling before the chassis fans reach maximum RPM, so CPU throttling is the first limit encountered.
