Dense storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server built for workloads that need many drives in a compact chassis. It suits database clusters, backup targets and virtualisation hosts that prioritise local capacity over raw compute density.

Hot-plug bays and rail mounting

Twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-plug bays let you add or replace SAS and SATA drives without shutting down. The unit ships without drive trays, so you must source compatible caddies before installation. Rail kit and bezel are also absent.

Maximum raw capacity of 52TB

The PERC H730 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all bays, capping usable space at 52TB. Buyers who need more storage must add external enclosures or choose a platform with larger bay counts.
