2U Rack Server with 24-Bay Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors at 2.60 GHz, 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and 24 installed 400 GB SATA SSDs. The PERC H730 controller provides hardware RAID with battery backup.

Suited for Database and Virtualisation Nodes

This configuration suits teams running databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes that benefit from large local flash capacity. The quad-port network daughter card adds 10 Gb SFP+ and 1 GbE links. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis with Hot-Swap Power

The 24-bay 2.5-inch front chassis determines how many drives the system can hold and is the key constraint for capacity planning. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included. Ready Rails and a front bezel ship with the unit.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730 controller and all 24 SSDs are recognised after power-on?

During POST the controller BIOS will list the H730 and enumerate each 400 GB SATA SSD; iDRAC8 Enterprise then shows every drive online with green status LEDs on the front panel.

Which items ship with the server and what must I source separately?

The unit includes two Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, 768 GB DDR4 (24 x 32 GB), 24 x 400 GB SATA SSDs, H730 controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC8 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel; only an operating system and SFP+ transceivers for 10 GbE are not included.

The spec shows 768 GB installed and a 1.5 TB maximum — which capacity should I choose?

Keep the 768 GB (24 x 32 GB) if your current workload fits; add more DDR4 RDIMMs later only when memory pressure appears, because all 24 slots are already populated.
