Dense 24-bay compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack chassis and ships with two Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors running at 2.6GHz. A total of 512GB of DDR4 memory is installed across the available slots. The PERC H730 SAS controller manages storage through a SATA interface.

Suits virtualisation clusters needing maximum

This configuration targets environments that prioritise local storage capacity over GPU acceleration. Integrated graphics and the absence of installed drives mean buyers who need high-performance video output or a pre-populated array should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis dictates storage strategy

The defining constraint is the 24-drive front bay count, which sets the upper bound for raw capacity and RAID layout options. No drives are included, so the buyer must provision SATA media that matches the PERC H730 controller and the 2.5-inch form factor.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 24SFF chassis provide for installation?

The chassis supports up to 24 drive bays for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, allowing dense storage configurations in a 2U rack form factor.

Which rail kit is required to mount this 36 x 24 x 10 inch server in a standard rack?

A compatible Dell ready-rail kit must be secured to the rack first; the server then slides into the rails and locks with the release levers — skipping the rail installation step prevents proper mounting.

What memory type and maximum capacity should be planned for future upgrades beyond the installed 512GB?

The system uses DDR4 ECC registered modules and supports a maximum of 768GB total capacity across its 24 DIMM slots when both processors are populated.
