DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2× Xeon E5-2620 v4 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 E5-2620 v4 processors running at 2.1GHz and 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to 24 2.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H730 SAS controller. It is sold new with firmware updated and no drives installed.

Suited for storage-heavy virtualization

This configuration suits IT teams deploying virtualization hosts, software-defined storage nodes or database clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor. The dual-socket design maxes out at two processors and 768GB of RAM, so buyers who need more than two CPU sockets or memory beyond 768GB should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of installed drives also make it unsuitable for GPU-accelerated workloads or turnkey storage appliances.

24-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H730 controller

The defining specification is the 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis paired with the Dell PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. This combination determines how many drives you can install and which RAID levels are supported for SATA and SAS media. The system includes dual 1100W power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management for lights-out administration.
