2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each running at 2.40 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a Dell PERC H730 storage controller. Twenty-four 2.5-inch 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives are installed, providing high-density local storage for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or data-warehouse workloads.

Compatibility checklist for your rack

Verify that your rack provides a 2U space with standard square-hole or threaded rails and that the 750 W redundant hot-swap power supplies match your PDU connectors and voltage. Confirm the SAS backplane and H730 controller meet your RAID level requirements and that the X520/I350 network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports fits your switching topology. Ensure iDRAC 8 Enterprise remote management is supported by your existing monitoring tools.

Upgrade path from smaller configurations

This system replaces a 1U or 2U server with fewer drive bays, lower core counts or a single processor when workloads demand 28 total cores, 1.5 TB maximum memory capacity and 24 SAS drives in one chassis. The jump is justified when consolidation reduces rack count, power cabling and management overhead while the PERC H730 battery-backed cache protects write performance during power events.

Questions about this item

What comes with the server and what must I add?

The unit ships with 2 Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, 64 GB DDR4 in 4 slots, a PERC H730 1 GB controller, 24 × 2.4 TB SAS drives, an X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC 8 Enterprise, 2 × 750 W platinum PSUs, rails and bezel. Memory, drives and add-in cards can be expanded later.

Which memory and drive configuration should I pick?

This listing is fixed at 64 GB DDR4 (4 × 16 GB) and 24 × 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives. The chassis has 24 drive bays and 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 1.5 TB, so choose this SKU when you need the full bay count and 12 Gb/s SAS performance.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock mean in practice?

Each of the 28 cores runs at 2.40 GHz with a 3.3 GHz turbo, giving strong multi-thread throughput for databases, virtualization and HPC workloads; the C610 chipset and 2400 MHz DDR4 keep memory latency low under load.
