2U rack server with 24 drive bays

The Dell PowerEdge R730XD is a 2U rack server designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 ten-core processor at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. The chassis supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes a Dell PERC H330 RAID controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 remote management are standard.

Suits high-density storage; not for GPU compute

This server suits teams that need many drive bays in a compact rack footprint for databases, backup targets or software-defined storage. The single-socket configuration and Matrox G200 graphics make it unsuitable for workloads that require GPU acceleration, a second processor, or pre-installed drives and an operating system. Buyers needing more than 52 TB of raw capacity should also evaluate larger platforms.

24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch hot-plug backplane paired with the H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 60. This combination determines whether the chassis can accommodate the required number of drives and the desired redundancy level. Maximum supported raw capacity is 52 TB.
