Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch bays into a 2U rack chassis, giving capacity that usually needs a taller unit. Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors and 32GB of DDR4 handle database, virtualisation or backup workloads where drive count matters more than single-thread speed.

Build integration

Two 750W redundant supplies and the Perc H730 RAID controller with 1GB cache occupy dedicated slots, leaving up to six PCIe 3.0 slots for networking or GPU cards. The 24-bay front panel accepts SAS or SATA drives so you can mix the three included 1.2TB SAS disks with larger drives later without changing trays.

Sustained operation

Six-core CPUs at 1.9GHz and 7.2K RPM drives deliver steady throughput for RAID 5/6/10 arrays under continuous write loads. Redundant power and hot-swap bays let you replace a failed drive or supply without downtime, while iDRAC8 remote management keeps firmware updates and health monitoring active during long production runs.
