Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built for capacity-heavy workloads. It pairs two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.30 GHz with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four slots. A PERC H730 controller manages twenty-four 300 GB 10K SAS drives in the front bays. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters or data-warehouse nodes that benefit from high core counts and dense local storage. The quad-port X520/I350 card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links for network segmentation. Buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, additional CPU sockets or all-flash arrays without mechanical drives should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-Four 2.5-Inch SAS Bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis that accepts SAS and SATA drives behind a single PERC H730 controller. This density determines whether the server fits a storage-heavy rack plan or exceeds the drive-count requirement for a given project.
