DELL PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF 2x Xeon E5-2680v4 384GB DDR4 No Drive

High-density 24-bay server

The Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24SFF packs twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays and dual Xeon E5-2680v4 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 14 cores each and 35 MB cache into a 2U rack form factor. It arrives new with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and a PERC H730 SAS RAID controller. Two 1100 W power supplies and an Intel network card providing two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This platform suits operators who need maximum drive count in a compact chassis for software-defined storage, backup targets or dense virtualisation clusters. The installed 384 GB DDR4 supports large working sets and the H730 controller handles SAS RAID across all bays. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets or a different drive bay count should evaluate other platforms. The integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise licence enables full remote lifecycle management without extra licensing steps.

Memory ceiling is 768 GB

The single specification that decides fitment is the maximum supported memory of 768 GB across twenty-four DIMM slots. The current 384 GB load leaves half the capacity free for future growth using DDR4 ECC registered modules only. No other memory generation is compatible with this platform.
