Built for 24-bay 2.5-inch density

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits 24 small-form-factor drives in a 2U rack chassis, delivering high local storage capacity for database nodes, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse workloads. Dual Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors provide 20 cores at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo, while 512 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 modules leaves eight slots open for future expansion.

Suits workloads that need many spindles

Buyers who need more than two processors or who require a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms. The system maxes out at two CPUs and 1.5 TB of RAM, so configurations beyond those limits cannot be supported.

H730 controller decides RAID flexibility

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through, determining which drive topologies and redundancy schemes are available for the 300 GB 10K SAS drives and any additional SAS or SATA devices.
