Dense 2U storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server with 24 hot-plug 2.5" drive bays, dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 2.4 GHz processors and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with a Perc H730 RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and two 750 W redundant power supplies. No operating system or drives are included.

Fits high-density SAS/SATA workloads

Buyers who need up to 24 SAS or SATA drives in 2U of rack space will use every bay; buyers who need fewer bays or a different backplane type should look at other chassis. The 24 DIMM slots are already populated to the processor limit of 64 GB, so memory expansion is not possible without a CPU upgrade.

24-bay 2.5" hot-plug capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5" hot-plug layout driven by the H730 controller. If your deployment requires that exact bay count and RAID feature set in 2U, this server matches; if the bay count or drive interface differs, another platform is required.
