2U 24-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v3 10-core processors at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. It includes a PERC H730 1 GB storage controller, two 400 GB SATA SSDs, quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ networking, iDRAC8 Enterprise, redundant 750 W power supplies, rails and a front bezel. The chassis provides 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays for high-density storage configurations.

Suited For Storage-Heavy Workloads

This server fits midsize and large enterprise deployments such as data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure, databases and high-performance computing data nodes where internal capacity and dual-processor throughput are priorities. Buyers who need a tower form factor, GPU compute capability or flash interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should evaluate other platforms.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch Drive Capacity

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front drive bay layout combined with the PERC H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This density determines how much local storage can be installed and which RAID topologies are available, making it the primary factor in deciding whether the chassis meets a given workload's capacity and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 128GB DDR4 configuration or add more modules up to the 1.5TB maximum?

The system ships with 128GB across 8 slots using 16GB DDR4 2133MHz registered ECC sticks, leaving 16 slots free to reach the 1.5TB limit if your workload needs more capacity.

What does the 2.6GHz base clock with 3.3GHz turbo deliver in a dual-socket R730xd?

Two Xeon E5-2660 v3 processors provide 20 cores and 40 threads total, running at 2.6GHz base and boosting to 3.3GHz under load for database, virtualisation or HPC node tasks.

How does the PERC H730 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller affect the installed 400GB SSDs?

The H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so the two 400GB SATA SSDs run at their native 6Gb/s link speed while the controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes.
