DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2670 v3 192GB DDR4

Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports SAS hard drives, though no drives are installed in this configuration. Dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management are included.

Storage-dense virtualisation and database hosts

This server suits teams that need high drive-count density for local storage arrays, virtualisation clusters, or database workloads. The 24-bay front panel and 768GB maximum memory ceiling allow substantial scaling within a 2U footprint. Buyers who require GPU compute, larger 3.5-inch drive bays, or a single-processor layout should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch front panel wired to a PERC H730 SAS controller. It dictates that only 2.5-inch SAS drives can be populated internally and sets the maximum raw storage capacity. Confirm your drive type and bay count requirement against this constraint before ordering.
