Dense 2U Storage Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server built for capacity-hungry workloads. It ships with dual Xeon 18-core processors at 2.3 GHz, 256 GB of DDR4 memory, and a PERC H730 controller driving twenty-four 600 GB SAS drives. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise management are included.

Virtualisation and Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams running virtual desktop infrastructure, database clusters, or data-warehouse nodes that need many spindles and twin-socket compute in a single rack unit. Buyers who need all-flash speed, a smaller 1U form factor, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

Twenty-four 600 GB SAS Bays

The defining spec is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 10K SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. If the workload demands that exact drive count and controller feature set, this server matches it directly.
