24-Bay 2.5" 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 10-core processors at 2.6 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo and 768 GB of DDR4-2133 ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730 1 GB controller drives 24 SAS/SATA bays, and an Intel X520/I350 daughter card supplies two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise complete the platform.

Suits Virtualisation And Database Nodes

This configuration fits midsize and large enterprises running virtual desktop infrastructure, data-warehouse nodes, e-commerce databases or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay chassis and 1.5 TB memory ceiling support heavy I/O and large in-memory datasets. Buyers who require a smaller 1U form factor, GPU compute density or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay SAS Chassis And H730 RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5" SAS/SATA backplane paired with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through. If the deployment needs that many hot-swap drive slots with hardware RAID, this server matches; if fewer bays or a different controller are required, another model is appropriate.

Questions about this item

How much power do the twin 750 Watt Platinum supplies draw when the server runs 24/7 under load?

Each supply is rated at 750 W with Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair ensures continuous operation if one unit fails.

Which cables and drive trays must I already have to populate the 24 front 2.5" bays beyond the two included 300 GB SAS drives?

The chassis accepts 2.5" SAS or SATA drives; additional drive trays and SAS/SATA cables are required for any bays you fill beyond the two factory-installed drives.

Will the PERC H730 controller recognise older 6 Gb/s SAS drives I want to reuse alongside the new 12 Gb/s backplane?

Yes, the H730 supports 12 Gb/s, 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s SAS/SATA devices, so legacy drives will negotiate down to their native link speed and work in the same array.
