24-bay 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache.

Storage-focused deployments

The 24 drive bays and H730 controller suit organisations building on-premise storage arrays, backup targets or software-defined storage nodes. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management simplify lights-out operation. Buyers who need more than 8 GB of memory, a second processor or pre-installed drives must add those separately.

24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays

The single specification that decides fit is the 24 x 2.5-inch hot-plug bay count combined with the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the workload requires that many front-accessible bays in a 2U form factor, this chassis matches; otherwise a different bay count or form factor is required.

Questions about this item

Does the R730XD ship with 2.5" drive trays or must they be purchased separately?

No hard drives or trays are included; 24 hot-plug 2.5" SAS or SATA bays are available and trays must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the single E5-2650v3 or add a second processor for this chassis?

The board supports up to two CPUs; one ten-core 2.3 GHz E5-2650v3 is installed and a second matching processor can be added later.

With the installed 8 GB DDR4, how much total memory can this 2U server actually address?

The installed 8 GB DDR4 uses one of 24 DIMM slots; the platform supports up to 1536 GB total when both processor sockets are populated.
