Dense 2U storage server

This Dell PowerEdge R730xd packs two 18-core Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors at 2.3 GHz with 3.6 GHz turbo, 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules, and a PERC H730 controller driving twenty-four 400 GB SATA SSDs in a 2U chassis.

Suits capacity-heavy workloads

The 24-bay front panel and dual 750 W platinum supplies make it a fit for databases, virtual desktop infrastructure or HPC data nodes that prioritise raw flash capacity and dual 10 GbE SFP+ links; buyers who need more than 1.5 TB of memory, more than two sockets or a different drive interface should look elsewhere.

24-bay 2.5" SATA constraint

Only 2.5-inch SATA drives connect to the H730 backplane, so the installed 400 GB SSDs define the maximum native flash configuration without adding external enclosures or changing the controller.
