Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for high-density storage workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processor running at 2.2GHz with 20 cores and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS drives and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 2GB cache. Remote management is handled by iDRAC8 Enterprise.

Suited for storage-heavy roles.

This configuration suits organisations deploying software-defined storage, backup repositories, or virtualisation clusters that benefit from maximum drive bays in a 2U form factor. The single-socket design limits maximum memory to 768GB and leaves the second CPU socket unpopulated. Buyers needing higher compute density or dual-processor performance from day one should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis defines capacity ceiling

The defining specification is the 24-drive bay chassis, which sets the physical limit for raw storage capacity. With SAS connectivity and the H730 controller, users can populate the bays with HDDs or SSDs to match performance and capacity targets. No drives are installed, so the storage configuration must be specified at purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730 controller need a battery replacement for write-back cache?

The PERC H730 uses a flash-backed write cache module that does not require a separate battery replacement.

What limits the CPU when the server runs at full load for hours?

The Xeon E5-2698 v4 20-core processor at 2.2 GHz will hit its thermal design power ceiling before other components.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with both 1100 W supplies running continuously?

Dual 1100 W supplies and 24 drive bays mean sustained fan speeds that produce noticeable noise and exhaust heat in a rack row.
