DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2683 v4 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730

Dense 24-bay storage server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rackmount server built around twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays, two Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4 processors and a PERC H730 controller. It ships with 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and two 400GB SATA SSDs installed. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits high-capacity internal storage workloads

This platform fits database nodes, virtual desktop infrastructure and data-warehouse roles that benefit from many local disks and dual 16-core CPUs. Buyers who need more memory headroom can expand to 1.5TB across twenty-four DDR4 slots. Buyers who need fewer drive bays or a smaller chassis should consider a different form factor.

Twenty-four 2.5-inch SATA/SAS bays decide fit

The chassis provides twenty-four hot-swap bays wired to the H730 RAID controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If the deployment requires a different bay count, a 3.5-inch form factor or a controller without battery-backed cache, this server will not match the requirement.
