DELL PowerEdge R730xd 2U 24-Bay 2x Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz 128GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS H730

2U Rack Server with 24-Drive Capacity

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd is a 2U rack-mounted server system designed for dense storage workloads. It houses two Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 processors, each with eight cores running at 2.6 GHz and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730 RAID controller with battery backup. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits Storage-Heavy Virtualisation

This configuration targets midsize to large enterprises running data warehouses, e-commerce platforms, virtual desktop infrastructure or high-performance computing data nodes. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis maximises spindle count for throughput-oriented applications. Organisations requiring solid-state media or different drive interfaces should evaluate other platforms. Buyers needing more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 1.5 TB will need a different architecture.

24-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis Defines Storage Scale

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives and the H730 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes. This drive count and interface determine total raw capacity and I/O performance for the intended workloads. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for fabric integration. Rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack deployment.
