DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2650v4 384GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mount server system built for dense storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2650v4 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 12 cores. The system includes 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across its 24 DIMM slots, with a maximum capacity of 768GB. A Dell PERC H730 SAS controller manages the 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays supporting SATA and SAS drives.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualisation

This configuration targets organisations running virtualisation hosts, software-defined storage nodes or database clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory footprints. The 24-bay chassis allows extensive local capacity without external enclosures. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and single 10GbE network card also limit suitability for visualisation or multi-port high-throughput networking roles.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis defines storage density

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front-loading chassis paired with the PERC H730 RAID controller. This combination determines how many drives you can install internally and which RAID levels are supported. No drives are included, so the buyer must populate bays with SATA or SAS media matching capacity and endurance requirements. The 1100W redundant power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the core infrastructure feature set.
