24-bay 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors deliver twenty cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across twenty-four slots.

Dual-processor density for storage workloads

Organisations running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes that need high drive counts in a compact chassis will match this configuration. Buyers who require more than two sockets, larger 3.5-inch drive bays or a different storage controller should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730 with 1 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and battery-backed write caching for the supported RAID levels. This controller determines which drive types and RAID modes are available, so verify it matches your storage architecture before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does 768 GB DDR4 give me in a live server?

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory across 24 slots, leaving room to reach the 1.5 TB maximum if workloads grow.

How does the PERC H730 controller limit drive speed?

The H730 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so drive throughput caps at the controller’s 12 Gb/s interface.

Will the 24-bay 2.5″ chassis fit my rack and power setup?

The 2U rackmount unit includes ready rails and a front bezel, takes 24 × 2.5″ SAS/SATA trays, and runs on two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies.
