DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2× Xeon E5-2670 v3 2.3GHz 384GB DDR4 No Drive

Dense compute in a 2U rack

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd fits two Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory into a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis. It targets workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity within a standard rack footprint, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. The system ships without drives so you can populate the bays with the exact mix of SAS or SATA media your application demands.

Front-access storage and remote control

Twenty-four hot-swap drive bays sit at the front behind a tool-less bezel, letting you add or replace disks without leaving the cold aisle. A PERC H730 SAS controller provides hardware RAID across all bays, while dual 1100 W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence gives full out-of-band management, including virtual console and remote firmware updates, from any browser.

Memory ceiling decides the fit

Installed memory sits at 384 GB with a platform maximum of 768 GB, so the headroom for future growth is exactly one more doubling. Buyers who need more than 768 GB of RAM will have to choose a different server generation, because the CPU and chipset impose that hard limit. If your dataset fits inside that ceiling, the dual 12-core CPUs and 24 drive slots give you a balanced foundation for storage-heavy workloads.
