DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U 24 Bay 2x E5-2640 v3 256GB DDR4 24x 2.4TB SAS H730

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2133 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Twenty-four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730 1 GB controller provide high-capacity storage. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suited for High-Density Storage Workloads

This configuration targets midsize and large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis maximises drive count in a 2U footprint. Organisations needing flash-only arrays, GPU acceleration or larger memory footprints beyond 1.5 TB should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 Controller Supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60

The Dell PERC H730 1 GB mini controller manages the 24 SAS drives with battery-backed cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines the available redundancy, performance and capacity options for the entire storage array.
