DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 2.4GHz 64GB DDR4 24-bay 2.5

2U 24-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built around dual Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors running at 2.40 GHz with six cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H730 storage controller with 1 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch trays accept SATA or SAS drives, while a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 8 Enterprise and dual 750 W platinum power supplies complete the package.

Ideal for Storage-Heavy Workloads.

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtual desktop infrastructure, databases, data-warehouse nodes or high-performance computing storage tiers that demand high drive density in a 2U form factor. The empty trays let IT teams populate the exact mix of SATA and SAS capacity they require. Buyers who need drives included from the factory or who require PCIe expansion beyond the integrated networking should evaluate other platforms.

24 Front 2.5-Inch SATA/SAS Trays Define Capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the twenty-four 2.5-inch hot-swap bays wired to the H730 controller for SATA and SAS media. That bay count and interface support dictate the maximum raw storage and drive-type flexibility available in this chassis.
