Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 SAS controller for RAID management. Integrated graphics and dual 1100 W power supplies complete the base configuration.

Storage-focused teams needing maximum drive density

The 24-bay layout suits databases, virtualization hosts and backup targets that benefit from many spindles or SSDs behind a hardware RAID controller. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look at a different platform because this unit has integrated graphics only. Organisations requiring more than 768 GB of RAM or more than two sockets will need a larger platform. The server arrives without drives so storage must be sourced separately.

24 x 2.5-inch drive bays with PERC H730

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller. It defines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are supported. The system supports up to 768 GB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots and includes iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote management. Network connectivity provides two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports.

Questions about this item

What components ship with the R730xd 24SFF and what must be sourced separately?

The chassis arrives with dual Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, a PERC H730 SAS controller, dual 1100W power supplies, iDRAC8 Enterprise, and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card. No 2.5" drives or rail kit are included.

Should I select a configuration with more or fewer drive bays for this 24-bay chassis?

The 24SFF chassis is fixed at twenty-four 2.5-inch bays; you cannot change the bay count. Choose this model when you need maximum drive density in 2U, then populate bays with SATA or SAS drives that match your capacity and IOPS targets.

How does the 2.6GHz base clock on the dual 14-core Xeons translate to real-world throughput?

Fourteen cores per processor at 2.6GHz with 35MB cache deliver strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization, database, and compute workloads; actual throughput depends on the drives you install and the workload mix you run.
