DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2698 v4 768GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-Bay Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system designed for storage-dense workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz, providing 20 cores per socket. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, reaching the maximum supported capacity. A PERC H730 SAS RAID controller manages up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for high-capacity storage clusters

This configuration suits organisations building high-capacity storage clusters, software-defined storage nodes, or dense virtualisation hosts that benefit from the 24-bay chassis and large memory footprint. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or larger 3.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives mean additional components are required for visual output or immediate storage deployment.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis defines storage density

The single specification that decides fit is the 24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis paired with the PERC H730 controller. This combination determines the maximum number of drives, the supported SAS interface, and the overall storage density available in the 2U form factor. Confirm that your workload matches this bay count and drive interface before purchase.
