24-Bay 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server with twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays. It ships with dual 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 sixteen 32 GB modules. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730 storage controller are installed.

Suited For High-Capacity Storage Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need dense local storage in a 2U form factor, such as data warehousing, virtual desktop infrastructure, or database nodes. The twenty-four drive bays support large SATA or SAS arrays. Buyers who need more than two processors or a different memory type should evaluate other platforms.

Dual 14-Core Xeon Processors

The server contains two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs, providing twenty-eight total cores at a base frequency of 2.0 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. This processor count and core density determine the compute ceiling for virtualization or high-performance computing tasks. Verify that the LGA 2011-3 socket and C610 chipset match your infrastructure requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.5-inch drive bay version or a different bay configuration?

This server has a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis so you can populate up to twenty-four SATA or SAS drives behind the front panel.

What does the 3.2 GHz turbo frequency mean when the server is under load?

Each 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 runs at 2.0 GHz base and can reach 3.2 GHz turbo when thermal headroom allows, giving higher single-thread speed for bursty workloads.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit real-world drive throughput?

The PERC H730 1 GB controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs are capped at the 6 Gb/s link speed.
