DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2667v3 3.2GHz 512GB DDR4

Dense 24-bay 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays into a 2U rack chassis. Dual Xeon E5-2667v3 processors run at 3.2 GHz with 20 MB cache each. 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed and the system supports up to 768 GB total. A PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage and iDRAC8 Enterprise provides remote management.

Suits storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtualisation hosts and software-defined storage clusters that benefit from high drive density and large memory capacity. The dual 1100 W supplies and 10 GbE plus 1 GbE networking support demanding throughput. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or a different drive form factor should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis decides fit

The 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel is the single specification that determines whether this server matches the deployment. It dictates the maximum drive count, the physical space required in the rack and the storage controller cabling. Verify that the 2.5-inch form factor and 24-bay density align with the planned storage architecture before purchase.
