DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 1x Xeon E5-2660v4 192GB DDR4 rack server

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server with a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2660v4 processor featuring 14 cores and a 35 MB cache. The system includes 192 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Dual 1100 W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are installed.

Suits dense storage and virtualisation

This configuration suits buyers who need maximum drive density in a 2U form factor for software-defined storage or large virtualisation clusters. The single CPU leaves a second socket open for future expansion up to the supported maximum. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration or more than 24 drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730 SAS controller decides fit

The installed PERC H730 RAID controller manages SAS drives across the 24 front-accessible bays. It provides hardware RAID levels required for data protection in storage-heavy workloads. Verify that your intended drives use the SAS interface to match this controller.
