Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for workloads that demand high drive density and large memory capacity. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730 RAID controller with 1 GB cache.

Suits Database And Virtualisation Nodes

This configuration targets midsize to large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS and SATA drives under hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. It is not for buyers who need more than two processors, who require a tower form factor, or who want a system without redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Twenty-Four Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front drive cage populated with 24 enterprise 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives. This density determines whether the server fits a storage-heavy role such as a database node or a software-defined storage cluster. The chassis also includes dual 750 W platinum power supplies, quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, and ready rails with bezel.

Questions about this item

What memory ceiling does the 24-slot board hit before I must add higher-density modules?

The system supports up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 across the 24 slots, so 512 GB installed today leaves room to grow.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with both 750 W platinum supplies and 24 spinning drives running 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum units and 24 10 K SAS drives push considerable heat; expect elevated fan speeds and measurable rack-temperature rise under continuous load.

Which cabling and rail kit items ship in the box so the server can be racked and connected immediately?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included; network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for direct attach.
