High-density 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs dual Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors and 512GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a 2U chassis. Twenty-four front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays are filled with 400GB SATA SSDs. A PERC H730 controller handles RAID duties while dual 750W platinum supplies provide redundant power.

Suited to storage-heavy workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse nodes that benefit from large local SSD capacity and dual-processor throughput. Remote management is covered by iDRAC 8 Enterprise. Buyers who need more than 1.5TB of memory, more than two sockets or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD capacity

The defining specification is the twenty-four 400GB SATA SSDs presented to the PERC H730 controller, delivering high IOPS in a dense 2U form factor. This drive count and interface combination determines whether the server matches your storage-performance requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all 24 drive bays filled or do I need to buy additional SSDs?

The unit includes 24 Dell Enterprise 400GB SATA SSDs already installed, so every 2.5" bay is populated and no extra drives are required.

With 512 GB already installed, how much more DDR4 can I add before reaching the limit?

The board has 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 1.5 TB total; 16 slots hold 32 GB modules for the current 512 GB, leaving 8 slots free for further expansion.

What throughput can the PERC H730 controller deliver to the 24 SSDs in a RAID 10 array?

The H730 provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 1 GB cache, enabling full 6 Gb/s SATA speed to each of the 24 drives in RAID 10 or other supported levels.
