DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2× Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 6-core 512GB DDR4 24× 800GB SSD H730

Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.40 GHz, each offering six cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730 controller with 1 GB cache. Twenty-four 800 GB SATA SSDs fill the front drive bays, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for High-Capacity SATA Workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need dense, all-flash SATA storage in a two-socket platform for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support simplify large volume management. Buyers who need PCIe-attached flash, more than two processor sockets, or GPU compute density should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SATA Chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis that accepts only SATA or SAS drives through the H730 controller. This physical layout and interface combination determines whether the server can accommodate the required drive count and protocol for the target workload.
