2U Rack Server with 24 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It fits 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays into a compact chassis, making it suitable for databases, virtualisation hosts or backup targets that need high capacity in limited rack space.

Suits storage-heavy roles; not for GPU compute

This server suits organisations that prioritise internal storage density and SAS throughput over graphics acceleration. It has no GPU support and only 1 GbE networking as standard, so buyers who need 10 GbE connectivity or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at other platforms.

Dual Xeon E5-2609 v3 with H730 RAID

Two six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors run at 1.9 GHz and drive the Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. The H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the three included 900 GB 10 K SAS drives and any additional bays you populate.
